Postdoctoral Residency in pediatric Neuropsychology | Kennedy Krieger Institute

The residency program at Kennedy Krieger Institute endorses the Houston Conference guidelines for training in clinical neuropsychology. As such, we support board certification in clinical neuropsychology through the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP) as the standard of competency in clinical neuropsychology and the scientist-practitioner model of training. As a participating member of the Association of Postdoctoral Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology (APPCN), our two-year training program adheres to the APPCN guidelines for residency programs in clinical neuropsychology, and participates in the APPCN residency matching program each year.

Residents spend approximately 70 percent of their time delivering clinical services and 30 percent on didactic learning and research experiences.

Our program offers clinical training experiences with a wide range of patient populations from birth through young adulthood. Children and adolescents are served within diverse settings throughout the Institute, including our outpatient specialty clinics, the Rehabilitation Continuum of Care, and other interdisciplinary settings, such as Kennedy Krieger School Programs and the Center for Autism and Related Disorders.
