This paper aims to provide pediatric neuropsychologists with suggested processes and procedures to continue to provide neuropsychology services during the COVID-19 global pandemic. Our practice is located within an academic medical center/children's hospital, and setting-specific recommendations may not extend to all practices, though our hope is that others find guidance from our approach to providing pediatric neuropsychology evaluations when physical distancing is required. With consideration of ethics, equity, and assessment validity, we provide suggestions for a) modifying practices around seeing patients during COVID-19, b) tele-health for the pediatric neuropsychologist, c) safety standards and requirements, and d) working with special populations (e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorder, bilingual populations, immunocompromised patients, and acute inpatient assessment).
本文旨在为儿童神经心理学家提供建议的流程和程序，以便在 COVID-19 全球大流行期间继续提供神经心理学服务。我们的实践位于学术医疗中心/儿童医院内，特定于设置的建议可能不适用于所有实践，尽管我们希望其他人在需要保持身体距离时，能够从我们提供儿科神经心理学评估的方法中获得指导。考虑到伦理、公平和评估有效性，我们提供了以下建议：a）修改在 COVID-19 期间看诊患者的实践，b）儿科神经心理学家的远程医疗，c）安全标准和要求，以及 d）与特殊人群（例如自闭症谱系障碍、双语人群、免疫功能低下的患者和急性住院评估）合作。
