Benefits of joining this new group
To facilitate and strengthen communication and collaboration between researchers and clinicians by: disseminating international research practices and evidence-base concerning NR and promoting interdisciplinary and cross-cultural partnerships. This will bridge the gap between theory, research and clinical applications in neuropsychological rehabilitation; enhance the status and recognition of neuropsychological rehabilitation as a science and discipline in neuropsychology and improve global rehabilitation practices and outcomes
