5 Disclosure Information As the ASHA Continuing Education Provider for this program, the International Neuropsychological Society requires program planners and instructional personnel to disclose information regarding any relevant financial and non-financial relationships related to course content prior to and during course planning. The intent of this disclosure is not to prevent a speaker with a significant financial or other relationship from making a presentation, but rather to provide listeners with information on which they can make their own judgments. It remains for the audience to determine whether the speaker s interests or relationships unduly influence the presentation with regard to exposition or conclusion. Relevant financial relationships are those relationships in which the individual benefits by receiving a salary, royalty, intellectual property rights, gift, speaking fee, consulting fee, honoraria, ownership interest (e.g., stocks, stock options, or other ownership interest, excluding diversified mutual funds), or other financial benefit.

Relevant non-financial relationships are those relationships that might bias an individual including any personal, professional, institutional, or other relationship. This may also include personal interest or cultural bias.
