American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology is a medical organization dedicated to Neuropsychology. Doctors and practitioners associated with AACN have special training and skill in evaluating and treating nervous system disorders, then determining how illnesses, injuries, and diseases of the brain and nervous system influence the way a patient feels, thinks, and behaves.

Neuropsychology is the study and evaluation of the relationship between the brain and behavior in order to treat dysfunctions in that relationship. Significant diseases and conditions treated by many AACN members include headaches, Parkinson's disease, movement disorders like epilepsy, as well as memory and cognitive disorders. Medical tests, procedures and therapies provided by AACN healthcare providers include bedside cognitive and behavioral neurologic screens; evaluation of intelligence, executive functions (such as planning, abstraction, conceptualization), attention, memory, language, perception, sensorimotor functions, motivation, mood state and emotion, quality of life, and personality styles.
