A presentation and discussion with:
Lindsay Fruehauf, PhD. 

Kelsey McIntyre, MA, CCC-SLP, CBIS 

Jefferson Moss Magee Rehabilitation Brain Injury Center  

 Functional Neurological Disorders (FNDs) are experienced neurological symptoms that are not the result of any underlying medical cause. FND may result in debilitating speech, language, motor, and cognitive deficits, potentially resulting in psychological impacts. This presentation will discuss the definition and history of FND, cognitive-communication and psychological symptoms, and effective treatment. 

Lindsay Fruehauf, PhD, is a licensed clinical neuropsychologist at Jefferson Moss Magee Rehabilitation in the Outpatient Brain Injury Center. She received her PhD from Brigham Young University and completed her doctoral internship at the University of Alabama at Birmingham-Birmingham VA Consortium. She then continued her specialization in neuropsychology with a post-doctoral fellowship at the South Texas VA in San Antonio, TX. Clinically, she is most interested in the overlap between psychiatric and neurological symptoms. Recently, she expanded her clinical services to provide psychotherapy for patients with FND through ReACT FND Health.
