Pełny opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) Globalization and migratory streams often face neuropsychologists with the situation where they have to assess immigrant clients. These clients frequently have different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. These elements make the assessment process a challenge for the neuropsychologist since they will affect the client’s performance and the interpretation of neuropsychologist of that performance. Moreover, many of the usual instruments that the neuropsychologist uses with the local population will not be appropriate to assess these clients (this course will have a heavy load on the importance of cross-cultural testing and test adaptation). Thus, neuropsychologists need to develop skills to address these kinds of assessments. The objectives of this course are that the neuropsychologists: a) be aware of the difficulties that are inherent to the assessment of a client from a different cultural background to the neuropsychologist’s (language, socially accepted behaviors, test-wiseness, appropriate tests availability); b) understand the necessary tools and skills to address these difficulties in order to achieve an optimal outcome with the existing resources. |
