Teleneuropsychology advice themes given by survey respondents

Advice	# of respondents endorsing this theme in the free-response question
Provide as much instruction about the virtual visit ahead of time, and clarify the expectations of the visit	8
Use TeleNP solely for clinical interview, brief cognitive screening, and behavioral measures; have examinee complete testing in-person	3
Have backup plan ready (e.g., phone call)	3
Do a practice call with the examinee before the day of testing	2
Use sparingly in clinical settings, and only use tests for which there is normative data for virtual visits, as future research is needed	2
Create standard operating procedures for TeleNP in the clinic/setting, and document issues that arise and how they were resolved	2
Develop a sense of flexibility and patience for if/when challenges are encountered	2
Use a smaller, targeted battery than what you would use in-person	2
Use certain devices to augment the experience (e.g., an external headset and microphone)	2
Technology companies should be contacted about how to streamline the process of logging onto visits for examinees (especially for individuals with low technological literacy)	2
If working with an older adult or more impaired examinee, be sure to have a carepartner available to troubleshoot technology problems, if at all possible	2
Break into multiple sessions	1
Screen-share visual stimuli over the platform versus holding the stimuli up to the camera	1
Do your own pseudoevaluations with a friend/colleague before you attempt an evaluation with a patient or participant	1
Minimize environmental distractions on both ends of the call (e.g., mute all phones, ensure examinee is in a private space)	1
Technologies should be created to adjust more seamlessly to different broadband availabilities	1
Consider if TeleNP is appropriate for the referral, especially if the examinee has any sensory impairments (e.g., vision or hearing loss)	1
When possible, use a wired internet connection	1
