Restrictions

Qualifications
The use of Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological
Test Batteries requires professional training and experience. Formal training in
administration and interpretation of the Halstead-Reitan Batteries may be
obtained in various ways, including graduate school, internships or
post-doctoral fellowships, and special workshops and training sessions.

reside with the user.

basis of professional licensure or certification to use neuropsychological
tests.

neuropsychological materials from Reitan Neuropsychology Laboratories, Inc. on
the basis of their experience and educational background or on the basis of
supervision provided by a person who meets the criteria listed above. However,
in keeping with ethical standards in the field of psychology and psychological
testing, we will distribute neuropsychological tests only to persons who are
