Neurodevelopmental Evaluations
A neuropsychological evaluation provides a comprehensive look at your child's cognitive abilities, executive functioning, social-emotional skills, and overall developmental profile. It clarifies your child’s unique strengths and identifies specific areas where support might be needed.
When Should You Consider an Evaluation?
A neuropsychological evaluation is especially valuable if your child is experiencing challenges or demonstrating unusual strengths in any of the following areas:
Difficulty paying attention or staying focused
Struggles with organization, planning, or completing tasks
Academic challenges in reading, writing, or math
Advanced cognitive or academic abilities compared to peers
Difficulty with social interactions or emotional regulation
Behavioral issues at home or school that don't respond well to traditional interventions
Concerns from teachers, therapists, or pediatricians about your child's development or learning
Benefits of a Neuropsychological Evaluation
By thoroughly understanding your child's unique cognitive and emotional landscape, a neuropsychological evaluation can:
Provide clarity around diagnoses such as ADHD, Autism, Giftedness, Twice Exceptional (2e), and Specific Learning Disorders
Empower parents and educators with actionable insights and specific recommendations tailored to your child's needs
Help schools better accommodate your child's unique learning style and social-emotional needs
Identify appropriate interventions, therapies, or enrichment opportunities
Support advocacy efforts for educational resources and accommodations
What to Expect During the Evaluation Process

Comprehensive Assessment: Your child will participate in tailored tests and activities, exploring cognitive abilities, executive functioning, social-emotional skills, academic performance, and behavior. This typically spans one to two sessions.
Feedback and Reporting: You’ll receive a detailed, easy-to-understand report outlining your child's profile, diagnoses if applicable, and specific recommendations for home, school, and beyond.
Follow-Up Support: We'll discuss findings in-depth, answer questions, and support your next steps, including collaboration with schools or other professionals as needed.
