Children & Adolescents Neuropsychological Assessments
A neuropsychological evaluation for children and adolescents is a comprehensive assessment of how a child’s brain functions in relation to their behavior, emotions, and learning. These evaluations are often recommended when a child is experiencing difficulties at school, at home, or in social situations that may be related to attention, memory, language, learning, or emotional regulation.
Using standardized tests, observations, and interviews, we assess areas such as:
Attention and executive functioning (e.g., focus, planning, impulse control)
Learning and memory
Language and communication
Visual-spatial and motor skills
Academic achievement and Intellectual functioning
Social-emotional functioning and behavior
This type of evaluation is especially helpful in diagnosing conditions such as ADHD, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, depression, and the effects of medical or neurological conditions (e.g., epilepsy, concussion).
Each evaluation results in a detailed report that includes:
A clear explanation of your child’s cognitive strengths and challenges
Diagnostic impressions, if applicable
Tailored recommendations for school supports, therapeutic interventions, and home strategies
Our goal is to provide families with the insights and tools they need to support their child’s development, growth, and success in everyday life.
