    Abstract: Neuropsychological assessment serves the public good by providing information to guide decisions affecting the well-being of individuals. This presentation will discuss ethical challenges and best practices for implementing the ethical competencies required to provide assessments that merit the public trust. Topics will include selection of instruments and strategies for selecting appropriate assessments when the field has not provided sufficient evidence to ensure population validity or when circumstances preclude gathering all essential information; conditions necessary to obtain appropriate consent for assessments and to protect confidentiality when assessments are conducted via electronic media; and addressing challenges that arise in forensic relevant contexts.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Apply ethical principles and standards to selection and administration of assessments

    2. Explain the role of cultural factors in interpretation of test results

    3. Use appropriate confidentiality procedures for assessments with electronic media

    4. Identify ethical challenges related to the presence of third-parties during assessments

    5. Discuss how to navigate relationships with attorneys requesting client assessments
