The neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of learning, behavior, and social-emotional abilities with a focus on how these factors relate to brain development. The assessment also provides diagnostic impressions with the ability to answer the 'why' question of the problem. Testing usually examines the following areas:
General intellectual abilities
Academic Skills
Receptive and Expressive Language
Memory
Attention and Executive functioning
Motor, graphomotor, sensory skills
Social and Emotional development
In addition, a thorough developmental history and parent interview, as well as data from your child’s teacher, tutor, and related specialists are also usually obtained. Each evaluation is tailored to the specific concerns and needs of your child.
