Neuropsychological Evaluation Provides a detailed description of a child’s learning style based on careful integration of findings from test data; observations by parents, teacher, and clinician; and developmental history. These evaluations address the underlying reasons that a child may be struggling academically, socially or emotionally and offer parents and teachers a set of tools for supporting the child’s development. Clinicians are also available to evaluate proposed educational programs, participate in team meetings or to observe the child at school to ensure that the recommendations are implemented effectively in the school environment.   Psychodiagnostic Assessment Focused on social-emotional development and functioning, these evaluations are helpful in understanding why the child may be experiencing emotional distress or exhibiting changes in behavior or social functioning.
