Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, clinical practice in the field of neuropsychology has rapidly evolved to include telehealth services. Diagnostic and interventional telehealth services have been well-established for age-related cognitive decline and dementia, especially in underserved and rural communities. Despite its growing support, neuropsychological assessment delivered via telehealth (i.e., teleneuropsychology) has not been utilized by the vast majority of practitioners. Despite the generally positive feedback from patients and caregivers regarding these services there are some challenges and criticisms of teleneuropsychology (teleNP) assessments.Therefore, there is a critical need to develop appropriate normative data for a comprehensive and well-used battery of neurocognitive measures administered through telehealth. As such, the purpose of this study is to develop normative data for a well-used battery or neurocognitive assessments that can be administered via telehealth.
