Despite many vested attempts to ameliorate such biases, many still exist in evaluations leading to misdiagnosis, over-pathologizing, or under-diagnosing. There has been limited progress in adapting neuropsychological test measures to promote inclusivity for Black-identified people. More efforts to identify problems within current neuropsychological measures and how to conduct informed and appropriate evaluations are imperative to minimize harm, given what we know about the limitations of many of the standardized measures used.<\/p>\n<h5 align=\"left\"><strong>Learning Objectives:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ol>1.
