Neuropsychological Evaluations

Neuropsychological testing is used to clarify diagnoses and help individuals and families better understand the impact of their diagnosis on learning, thinking, and behavior. We help you to understand the impact of any learning disabilities, specifically dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. We evaluate for mood or attentional disorders and will explain the long term effects. We can help to determine if accommodations are needed for standardized testing.

Targeted recommendations are provided based upon each client’s individual needs.
