Abstract
Cognitive dysfunction is a commonly reported feature of Long COVID (LC). With the overlap of assessment and treatment for cognitive concerns across multiple disciplines, coupled with current guidelines supporting interdisciplinary care, the aim of this clinically focused article is to provide a review of current guidelines and research related to assessment and interventions to address LC-related cognitive concerns within clinical practice from a multidisciplinary perspective, incorporating best practices for collaboration among Clinical Neuropsychologists, Rehabilitation Psychologists, and Speech-Language Pathologists. Current guidelines for assessment and interventions for cognitive functioning are provided, with clinical suggestions for best practices offered. Additional considerations related to diversity and variable patient presentations are identified. This article provides guidance based on current research and practice standards regarding the utilization of a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach to provide comprehensive assessment and treatment for individuals with LC-related cognitive concerns.
