Presented by:
Jason Fogler, Ph.D.
About the Webinar:
Without question, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed how work gets done and who does it. It has been enthusiastically embraced by some and eyed warily by others. Unlike other industries, clinical neuropsychology is a field in which uptake of AI is still largely optional, and it is in this spirit that Dr. Fogler hopes to engage the audience: If one were to want to adopt AI--assuming one could make peace with its environmental impact, the idea of "frictionless learning," etc.--what are its potential upsides, and what precautions should be taken?
Learning Objectives:
1. Broadly understand AI's strengths and limitations, especially as they pertain to the practice and teaching of clinical neuropsychology
2. Apply thoughtful, practical strategies to mitigate problems like AI "hallucinations" and bias
3. Apply the Integrated Developmental Model to scaffolding trainees' responsible uptake of AI
About the speaker:
Dr. Jason Fogler is a licensed clinical psychologist with an extensive background in administering, teaching, and researching innovative therapies for challenging patient populations and psychosocial contexts, including ADHD, complex trauma, and other neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. He is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Assistant Professor of Psychology at Harvard Medical School; the Director of the Maternal & Child Health Bureau-funded Leadership Education for Neurodevelopmental & related Disabilities fellowship at Boston Children's Hospital; and the current President of the Society for Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics. For 11 years, before passing the torch to a deserving mentee, he served as the Co-Director of the ADHD Program in the Division of Developmental Medicine at Boston Children’s Hospital, providing parent guidance, psychotherapy, and neuropsychological testing for children, teens, and young adults with ADHD. He is also the attending psychologist on a team devoted to children who have been adopted (domestically and internationally) or in the foster care system; and he routinely provides guardianship evaluations for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Dr. Fogler has authored nearly 100 publications, including educational guides for parents of children with ADHD, peer-reviewed clinical research and systematic reviews, and two edited books:Trauma Therapy in Context: The Science & Craft of Evidence-Based Practice andTrauma, Autism, and Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Integrating Research, Practice, and Policy. Of relevance to this talk, he and his colleagues recently published a Topical Review in the Journal of Pediatric Psychology about applying AI to training in neuropsychological testing and hosted a conference in May of 2025 on AI and the Digital age: Responsible and compassionate care for people with neurodevelopmental disabilities. At this moment in time, he would consider himself a very late adopter of most if not all technologies but, thanks to gracious and patient colleagues, mostly recovered from his initial AI-phobia.
