American Board of Professional Neuropsychology

The American Board of Professional Neuropsychology ( ABN) recognizes and encourages the pursuit of excellence in the practice of clinical neuropsychology. ABN's primary objective is the establishment of professional standards of expertise for the practice of clinical neuropsychology. Through its credentialing and examination processes and its continuing education requirement, the ABN offers to the medical community, the public, and to individuals who have a need for applied neuropsychological services, a process whereby well-qualified professional neuropsychologists can be identified.

To achieve the standards set forth by the ABN for competent professional practice of neuropsychology, the following outcome objectives have been developed:

• Validate the skills of clinical practitioners.
• Identify the competent practitioners.
• Provide public information about professional neuropsychology.
• Document the maintenance of competence of professional neuropsychology practitioners with continuing education requirements.
• Provide individuals, organizations, and agencies who use neuropsychology services with a referral directory of ABN Diplomates.

Recognition by ABN, through granting board certification and the diplomate status in neuropsychology, signifies to the public and to other health professionals a high level of competency in applied neuropsychology. The ABN does not ascribe to any specific theoretical framework. While recognizing the importance and contribution of a graduate education in neuropsychology is the application of that training to client issues and needs. All ABN members receive a subscription to Applied Neuropsychology: Child as part of their membership.
