This
workshop will focus on methods for developing one's affirmative
neuropsychological practice. An aim will be to increase comfort with
querying gender and selecting neuropsychological measures. The provision
of culturally-humble neuropsychological services relies on an
understanding of important psychosocial perspectives which include, but
are not limited to, minority stress and resilience, as well as models of
health disparity. While some topics might be applicable across the
lifespan, this course will address neuropsychological care in adults
only; it will not address the many special considerations that arise
for transgender, non-binary, and gender-diverse children or adolescents.
While there will be no forced participation, it is hoped that
participants will come ready for discussion and self-reflection during
this workshop/interactive session.
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
Provide
guidance and resources on how to practice culturally safe and humble
neuropsychology with transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adults; Review
important psychosocial perspectives which include, but are not limited
to, minority stress and resilience, as well as models of health
disparity; Engage in discussion around the above and address our growing edges as a profession and individually; Identify
potential challenges in the assessment of transgender and gender
diverse populations including but not limited to: limitations to
available research, binary normative data selection, provider and
systemic biases that impact TGD populations; List key elements of the affirmative assessment throughout interview, testing and report writing;
Choose appropriate norms for assessing a TGD person.
