Welcome to the Meyers Neuropsychological System Workshop page.
Three one day Workshops on the MNB/MNS
Program Overview: These three individual day workshops consist of: 1) Test Administration, 2) Customizing the MNB program and 3) Advanced Interpretation.
1) Date TBD. The Test Administration workshop is a basic workshop designed to familiarize users and technicians on the details of administration and scoring of the core MNB tests. This will be a hands-on training on the correct administration and correct scoring of tests that comprise the MNB. The content of the program will be suitable for all users, beginning and advanced. This will be presented by Dr. Kendra Sherwood, Ph.D. and John E. Meyers Psy.D., ABN.
2) Date TBD. The Customization Workshop is designed to teach participants how to customize their individual report generator. Those attending this workshop should bring their laptop to be used in customizing their report generator. This workshop will also provide instruction on the MNB program functionality. Building upon a basic knowledge of varying assessments, the workshop will provide both a beginning knowledge and understanding of the MNB/MNS as well as a more advanced utilization of the system to increase productivity and streamline the assessment process from administration to report writing. The content of the program will be suitable for all users, beginning and advanced. Attendees are expected to bring their own laptop computer with the MNB software already installed and activated along with an electronic copy of a report that can be used to copy and paste from into their report generator. This workshop will be presented by John E. Meyers Psy.D. ABN and Dr. Kendra Sherwood, Ph.D.
3) Date TBD. The Advanced Interpretation Workshop will focus on advanced test interpretation using the Meyers Psychological Battery/System. This workshop will use case studies as the primary teaching modality. Participants will be given case information and history to help form and test hypotheses using comparison groups, clinical data and pattern analysis. Attendees should bring a laptop computer with the MNB installed and activated. Attendees will be given copies of case studies to use during the workshop. This workshop will be presented by Dr. John Meyers, Psy.D., ABN.

Brief Bio of the Presenters
John Meyers Psy.D. is the creator of the Meyers Neuropsychological Battery (MNB) and the Meyers Neuropsychological System (MNS). He holds board certifications in Neuropsychology from ABN and ABPdN and is past president (2017) of the National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN). He has authored many articles and book chapters in the area of neuropsychology, test development and interpretation. Dr. Meyers has worked in a variety of settings including hospital, rehabilitation, and outpatient settings. He has evaluated more than 10,000 patients with a practice history that has spanned 30 years of clinical practice. The MNB was developed in response to clinical and practice needs. The MNB has a well-developed history of published research on the battery including reliability and validity as well as clinical utility.
Kendra Sherwood, PhD is a long-time user of the MNB and the MNS. She is a practicing licensed psychologist in Colorado performing neuropsychological evaluations with the use of the MNB across a variety of populations. She is an educator at heart, finding that her love of teaching runs parallel to her enjoyment of the assessment process. She is the co-owner of her practice that focuses on assessment based psychology, training students, interns, and post-doctoral candidates in the ways of assessment.
