When children experience challenges learning, paying attention, interacting socially, or struggling emotionally, parents often need support to better understand these challenges. Neuropsychological testing provides information about how a child is growing, identifying areas of strength and possible challenge so that parents are in a better position to support their child's development. I work collaboratively with parents to tailor an assessment to understand the nuances and unique context of each child's experience. From the assessment, recommendations are offered to develop a specific plan to address the child's particular needs.
Each evaluation involves assessment of important areas such as thinking, learning, attention, organization, or mood. Each evaluation includes a readable, integrated report that can be used in educational settings as well as follow-up services to support a child's growth. I follow each child's progress and continue to be a source of support over time.
