Postdoctoral Fellow Summary

Our 24-month Neuropsychology Postdoctoral Fellowship provides advanced training in comprehensive psychological and neuropsychological assessment of children, adolescents, and adults with neurodevelopmental, learning, cognitive, behavioral, adaptive, and social-emotional concerns. Fellows gain extensive experience evaluating Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, Specific Learning Disorders, intellectual and developmental disabilities, executive functioning weaknesses, and complex diagnostic presentations, as well as conducting evaluations for educational planning, OPWDD eligibility, and other specialized referral questions.

The fellowship emphasizes evidence-based assessment, differential diagnosis, advanced test selection and interpretation, integrated report writing, educational recommendations, school consultation, and multidisciplinary collaboration with families, schools, physicians, attorneys, and other providers. Fellows also receive specialized training in ADOS-2 administration, scoring, interpretation, and clinical integration.

Fellows participate in all stages of the evaluation process, including intake interviews, record review, test administration, behavioral and school observations, collateral interviews, diagnostic formulation, report writing, feedback sessions, and multidisciplinary consultation. Through intensive supervision, mentorship, and professional development, fellows progress toward increasing independence while meeting New York State licensure requirements. As a dedicated training site, MPG is committed to developing highly skilled assessment psychologists through comprehensive clinical experiences within a collaborative and supportive multidisciplinary environment.
