head injuries are often challenged to determine if the patient is providing

poor effort or exaggerating symptoms. Rapid advances have assisted in this

effort and there are multiple tools available now to assist the clinician in their

assessment. These tools will be the focus of this presentation.

chologist with extensive professional experi-

ence as a treating and Forensic Neuropsychol-
