Welcome to the CCN Paediatric Interest Blog

Welcome to the blog of the Paediatric Neuropsychology Interest Group of the College of Clinical Neuropsychologists!  Frank Muscara and Linda Gonzalez will be co-moderating this blog between child raising and other professional tasks.  We both have clinical and research backgrounds, so we hope the blog will be of interest to people working in a variety of paediatric positions.  Specifically we would like to use this blog to share:

• Interesting and new research findings regarding child and adolescent neuropsychological development 

• Discussions regarding the state of the art of paediatric neuropsychological assessment

• Professional Development activities relevant to our skill set 

• Any concerns and questions about the neuropsychological assessment of children and adolescents 

• Interesting and funny events that have occurred when working with young people

• Any other discussions regarding the profession in general.

Given that there may be sensitive topics discussed, we need to be aware of ethical and confidentiality issues when adding to the blog. We  are also hoping that this blog will be used as a way for clinicians to constructively and openly share information  and ideas and to support each other in their ongoing professional development.  We welcome contributions from people with all levels of experience and there is no such thing as a silly question.   So lets make this blog as supportive and as fun as possible!

If you would like to contribute regularly, please let us know, and we will put you on the list of authors of this blog. If you would like to publish only occassionally, feel free to send us your post by email, and we will upload it for you.
