Pediatric Neuropsychology

The job of neuropsychology is to provide a clearer picture of how well a child’s ability to learn, remember, act or process information might be affected by their medical or biological condition, and how much improvement might be expected over time.

The child is given kid-friendly but highly specific, well-standardized tasks. The child’s ability to perform these tasks provides valuable information about localized and generalized brain function.

Assessments include:

ADHD
Learning disabilities
Autism spectrum disorders
Genetic syndromes
Social/emotional factors affecting a known medical condition
Mood disorders (including Bipolar disorder)
Behavioral disorders
