Open Call for Papers

  • The Journal of Pediatric Neuropsychology is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that publishes clinically relevant research using scholarly approaches to enhance our understanding of the practice of pediatric neuropsychology in multiple settings. The journal is targeted at clinicians, researchers, and trainees specializing in pediatric neuropsychology and child and adolescent psychology. Pediatric neuropsychology recognizes that the continuum of services for pediatric clients depends on seamless transitions from one setting to another, such as hospital to school or home. Therefore, this multidisciplinary journal focuses on the clinical needs of children and adolescents who have neurodevelopmental or neurocognitive disorders as they traverse multiple avenues of treatment in special education programs in the schools, hospitals, integrative health clinics, neurorehabilitation programs, and private practitioner offices.
  • Pediatric Grand Rounds will feature case studies that include both common and unique or rare conditions to help elucidate the current clinical and empirical literature, and highlight the complexity often seen in pediatric neuropsychology practice. Accepted manuscripts should include the following:
    1. Brief overview of the case, including course of illness, neuroimaging, and neurodiagnostics if relevant
    2. Brief review of epidemiology and disease process
    3. Review of relevant literature as it relates to neuropsychological processes
    4. Review of neuropsychological assessment process and findings
    5. Conceptualization, recommendations, and suggestions for future research.
