Never Let School Interfere With Your Child's Education
What is a Neuropsychological Evaluation?
Neuropsychological evaluations determine your child's strengths and weaknesses in a number of areas including: intelligence, academic skills, executive functions (such as planning, organization, task management), attention, memory, language, perception, sensorimotor functions, motivation, mood state, emotions, quality of life, and personality.
The areas addressed in your child's evaluation are determined by the referral question (what the referring doctor, teacher and/or parent wants to know), the child's complaints and symptoms, and any observations made during interview and test administration.
The purpose of attaining an evaluation is to aid in the detection of learning and behavioral difficulties that may impair your child's success.
