Program Description:
This program provides a comprehensive exploration of neuropsychological assessment techniques and their application in evaluating cognitive changes in the aging brain. It covers the normal cognitive aging process, early identification of cognitive decline, various neuropsychological tests, and the differential diagnosis of dementia types. This program will briefly review the dementia types focused on in Part 1 including Alzheimer’s and Vascular disease and dive into other dementia types including Lewy Body Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia, Mixed Dementia, Parkinson’s Disease Dementia, and Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus with use of case studies. “Super Agers” will also be discussed. The program also highlights the importance of normative data, the role of neuropsychology in dementia care, the integration of family and caregivers in the assessment process, and initial intervention post diagnosis.

Additionally, we will address the role of elbow-to-elbow supervision in neuropsychological evaluation training and mentorship, as well as board certification. The role of AI in diagnostic and etiology work of a neuropsychologist, as well as in report writing and the recommendations tree for neuropsychological assessment reports, will also be covered.

By emphasizing empirical evidence and practical application, the program aims to enhance the participants' ability to diagnose and manage cognitive disorders in the geriatric population effectively.

Level of Instruction:
Introductory

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the cognitive changes associated with normal aging and differentiate them from pathological cognitive decline.
2. Explain the importance of early detection and screening for cognitive impairment in older adults, including the role of primary care clinics.
3. Identify the key components and advantages of neuropsychological assessment, including the significance of normative data in evaluating cognitive performance.
4. Apply neuropsychological assessment techniques to diagnose different types of dementia, such as Alzheimer's Disease and Vascular Dementia, using case examples.
5. Analyze the impact of various vascular risk factors on cognitive function and the progression of vascular cognitive impairment.
6. Evaluate the neuropsychological profiles of different types of dementia, including Lewy Body Dementia, Frontotemporal Dementia, and Parkinson's Disease Dementia, and discuss appropriate interventions.
7. Develop strategies for psychotherapists to adjust psychotherapy goals, educate the patient and the clinician, which may include clinician seeking additional supervision, about the diagnosis and prognosis, and involve family members/trusted individuals to support patient care and decision-making after a dementia diagnosis.

She specializes in neuropsychological evaluations for children presenting with developmental delays and / or possible autism spectrum disorder and chronic medical conditions. Among Dr. Piryatinsky’s primary clinical interests are geriatric neuropsychology and neurodegenerative disorders, including the assessment of mild cognitive impairment, differential diagnosis of dementia, and providing meaningful, evidence-based recommendations for patients and their families. Movement disorders, pre/post-surgical evaluations for deep brain stimulation candidates and normal pressure hydrocephalus are additional areas of expertise. Dr. Piryatinsky also supervises graduate level practicum students, William James College Internship Consortium trainees, as well as 2-year Postdoctoral fellows through an accredited American Psychological Association Postdoctoral Training Program.

Program Description:
The United States is experiencing a significant mental health crisis, making it imperative that we support the existing and grow the future mental healthcare and behavioral workforce. However, we can’t stop there; multiple solutions are necessary to address the mental health crisis, including the role of technology and telehealth, including Artificial Intelligence. Mental health digital tools have the potential to increase and expand access and options to care and improve population health and health equity. However, regulatory confusion and reimbursement barriers potentially stand in the way of scalable dissemination and implementation of these novel tools. This program will describe existing and emerging technologies and the evidence supporting their use, their potential to increase access to care and improve health equity, and what is being done to address the existing barriers within healthcare.

Level of Instruction:
Intermediate

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the existing and emerging digital tools and how they are different from each other

2. Summarize how digital tools can expand access and health equity to marginalized populations

3. List the regulatory and reimbursement barriers to full health care implementation for digital tools

4. Describe the critical role psychology and psychologists play in the area of emerging technologies

About the Presenters:

Vaile Wright, PhD is the Senior Director for the Office of Health Care Innovation at the American Psychological Association. She is a licensed psychologist and researcher focusing on developing strategies to leverage technology and data to address issues within health care including increasing access, measuring care, improving efficiencies and optimizing treatment delivery at both the individual and systems level.
