Diagnostic Precision and Accuracy

 

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.
