16 - Transgender and Gender Diversity in Neuropsychology: Affirmative Care for Adults

This course 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. It is hoped that participants will come ready for discussion and self-reflection during this interactive session.
