Schools request consultation from neuropsychologists employed outside the school setting to enhance assessment and intervention for children with neurological, medical, and psychological conditions. The legislative and administrative parameters governing special education services for exceptional children most pertinent to the consulting neuropsychologist are examined. The role of the school-based multidisciplinary team in determining eligibility for special education is discussed. Potential roles for the clinical neuropsychologist on the school-based team and approaches to interprofessional collaboration between clinical neuropsychologists and school psychologists are presented. Reimbursement for services and ethical considerations are also discussed.

Background: Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRDs) are increasingly common progressive conditions that have a substantial impact on individuals and their primary care partners-together described as a dyad. The stressors experienced by dyad members at around the time of ADRD diagnosis commonly produce clinically elevated emotional distress (ie, depression and anxiety symptoms), which can become chronic and negatively impact health, relationships, and the overall quality of life. Dyads commonly report unmet needs for early support to address these challenges early after diagnosis.

Background: Many children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) experience cognitive difficulties, impacting their academic, social, and emotional well-being. A Danish study from 2023 revealed that merely 40% of individuals with CP complete their elementary school education, and previous neuropsychological studies have found that most children and adolescents with CP experience cognitive difficulties. Yet, cognitive functioning is often assumed rather than assessed, and CP follow-up programs focus predominantly on physical functioning.
