Child Neuropsychological Evaluations

Our Child Neuropsychological Evaluations offer a detailed examination of your child’s cognitive function, identifying neurological conditions while informing a personalized treatment plan. Designed for children, parents, and educators, this assessment enhances learning outcomes, emotional resilience, and long-term brain health. The goal is to determine if your child meets criteria for a specific learning disability under the Disabilities Education Act, and to recommend appropriate interventions or special education services.

Child Psychologists

Why Opt for Child Neuropsychological Evaluations?

  • Thorough Clinical Interview with parents and medical history review to uncover learning disorders, developmental delays, or history of head injury/traumatic brain injury.

  • Assessment of executive functions, attention, processing speed, memory, and motor skills, alongside emotional and behavioral analysis.

  • Ideal for children with ADHD, hyperactivity disorder, mild cognitive impairment, or symptoms suggesting brain tumors or neurological conditions.

Learning Disability Evaluation

What Happens During the Testing Process

1. Intake & Clinical Interview

Parents share relevant family history, medical records, and the referral question, helping define what to target: learning, attention, behavior, or emotional regulation.

2. Standardized Neuropsychological Test Battery

We use age-specific tests, NEPSY-II, Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, and Test of Variables of Attention, to assess domains such as language, memory, cognitive deficits, and social perception. Results highlight strengths and areas needing support.

3. Diagnostic Interpretation

Our licensed clinical neuropsychologists conduct a data-driven differential diagnosis, distinguishing among ADHD, autism, psychiatric conditions, or effects from traumatic brain injury, ensuring an accurate diagnosis for tailored treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Tests Are Included in a Child Evaluation?

We use age-appropriate test batteries (e.g., NEPSY-II, WISC, KABC) to measure attention, executive functions, memory, processing speed, language, visuomotor skills, and social perception. These highlight cognitive abilities, strengths, and any cognitive deficits.

How Do Evaluations Help With ADHD or Hyperactivity Disorder?

By measuring attention via tests like the Test of Variables of Attention, analysis of impulsivity, and assessment of executive control, we distinguish between ADHD, learning disorders, and emotional issues—informing a precise plan for school or therapeutic interventions.

Can This Identify Mild Cognitive Impairment or Neurological Issues?

Yes. Our tests detect early signs of mild cognitive impairment, brain dysfunction, or neurological disorders. These findings guide parents and providers in developing long-term treatment planning and occasionally monitoring brain-related conditions.

Are the Evaluations Useful for Speech Therapy or Educational Support?

Definitely. Results frequently indicate the need for speech therapy, academic accommodations, or targeted strategies to boost memory, processing speed, and school performance. We provide a detailed support plan for educators and therapists.

Who Interprets the Test Results?

Licensed pediatric clinical neuropsychologists, trained under clinical neuropsychology standards and certified through the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology and APA, review and interpret findings to deliver an accurate diagnosis and actionable guidance.

How Long Does the Evaluation Take?

Typically between 2–4 hours across one or two sessions, depending on age and testing scope. This comprehensive time allows for a deep assessment of your child’s cognitive function and needs.

What Happens After the Evaluation?

We provide a written report and one-on-one feedback. We cover diagnosis, detailed treatment recommendations, and referrals. You’ll walk away with clear next steps for your child’s development and well-being.
