## Event Abstract

# Association Belge des Psychologues spécialisés en Neuropsychologie (ABPN asbl)

- 1 Université de Mons, Belgium

Our association was created in 2009. It brings together young neuropsychologists who come together to facilitate a space for learning, exchange and reflection but also to register neuropsychologists in a more political dimension to a recognition of the profession. Our association is changing every year since its creation and it applies to always offer more events: conferences, Intervisions Cognition and Aging and Intervisions Cognition and Children. It also attempts to respond to current events and does not hesitate to take sides openly through articles. His involvement with the advisory bodies of the health sector grows. One of our working groups involved in the movement of current changes in clinical psychology to the field of neuropsychology is not forgotten. In order to more transparency and more efficient communication, it offers a website for the month of January 2015 in which you can check out his agenda. This agenda will resume, in addition to its own activities, the conferences organized by other organizations in order to promote continuing education of psychologists specialized in neuropsychology. A directory is also available. We will rely more members, the more we can continue to invest and we will be representative from the governing bodies. The ABPN consists of several working groups and still many projects (a group of standardisation of neuropsychological test, aid for representation in the bodies ...). In conclusion, the BBC is an opportunity for our association to come forward and reach more neuropsychologists. Résumé en Français: L'ABPN aide les psychologues spécialisés en neuropsychologie à se connecter. Elle évolue depuis 2009 pour proposer des débats, conférences, intervisions et partage d'informations utiles dans ce domaine. Depuis quelques années, elle s'implique aussi dans un rôle politique afin de favoriser la reconnaissance de notre profession et de potentialiser nos actions en ce sens. Par nos différents activités, nous nous engageons à favoriser la reconnaissance de notre profession et à promouvoir la spécificité du psychologue spécialisé en neuropsychologie auprès des organes consultatifs du secteur de la santé mais aussi à offrir aux neuropsychologues et aux autres professionnels de la santé toujours plus de rencontres dans un espace d'échanges et de réflexions autour de thèmes riches et diversifiés. Samenvatting in het Nederlands: De ABPN (de Belgische Vereniging van Psychologen gespecialiseerd in Neuropsychologie) brengt de psychologen gespecialiseerd in neuropsychologie samen. Sinds 2009 worden debatten, conferenties, intervisiegroepen en informatie uitwisselingen georganiseerd. Sinds enkele jaren is de vereniging ook beleidsmatig actief en streeft ze naar de erkenning van het beroep, daartoe wordt ook actie gevoerd. Door deze activiteiten wordt niet alleen aandacht gevraagd voor de specificiteit van het beroep bij alle stakeholders binnen de gezondheidssector, maar worden ook steeds meer ontmoetingsplaatsen gecreëerd voor neuropsychologen en andere beroepscategorieën, in een geest van uitwisseling en reflectie over een rijk en gediversifieerd thema.
