Go Beyond Labels to Understand Your Child

A neuropsychological evaluation provides a comprehensive map of your child's unique cognitive and emotional world. It's the essential first step to creating a targeted, effective support plan that addresses the root of their challenges, not just the symptoms.

What Is a Neuropsychological Evaluation?

A neuropsychological evaluation is a detailed, data-driven assessment of how a child's brain functions. Unlike a standard school assessment, it connects cognitive and emotional skills to understand the "why" behind behaviors and learning challenges. Our approach uses a variety of standardized tests and clinical observations to provide a 360-degree view of your child.

Is This the Right Step for Your Family?

A neuropsychological evaluation can provide profound clarity for families struggling with uncertainty. It is often the key to unlocking progress when you know something is wrong but can't seem to find the right support. An evaluation is recommended if your child experiences challenges with:

ADHD, focus, or impulsivity
Learning disabilities (such as dyslexia or dyscalculia)
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Anxiety, depression, or emotional regulation
Behavioral issues at home or school
Giftedness with accompanying social or emotional difficulties
Unexplained academic or social struggles
