Neuropsychological Testing and Assessment
When a child, adolescent or young adult is experiencing academic and/or emotional challenges at school, work, or home, a psychological or neuropsychological assessment can provide helpful diagnostic information for support plans. Our therapist specializes in assessment of ADHD/ADD, Dyslexia and other Specific Learning Disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, and stress-related disorders.
A comprehensive assessment provides information about how brain processes affect behavior, particularly in learning situations and family dynamics, while also revealing both areas of strength and areas of specific challenges.
Neuropsychological evaluation is tailored to the individual client and is efficient, thorough, and flexible. When recent assessment has been done elsewhere, a partial battery of tests may be used to clarify diagnosis and address remaining questions. Following completion of testing, a written report of clear findings and practical recommendations are shared at a feedback session.
