ABN first views all neuropsychologists, those not yet boarded and those with other recognized boards, as having shown important commitment to the field, to our colleagues, clients, and patients. ABN strives to recognize professional, personal, and marketplace realities regarding education and training, while not compromising on maintaining high standards for credentialing. We take pride in offering mentoring and collegial processes and strive to develop synergy among colleagues. ABN does not emphasize differences from other organizations, so much as we see common responsibilities to colleagues and consumers of our services.

ABN’s certification process takes the approach that all competent neuropsychologists must demonstrate common, core areas of knowledge, experience and skill, those being in addition to specialty population competencies. ABN’s examinations cover core areas as well as specialty skills and application.
