The goal of a neuropsychological evaluation is to improve a family’s understanding of a child’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses in order to identify targeted and effective interventions. The evaluation consists of a comprehensive intake interview, followed by 4 to 6 hours of testing, culminating in an explanatory feedback session that presents the results in one coherent picture. A number of areas of functioning are assessed including:

• Intellectual/Cognitive abilities
• Academic (achievement) skills
• Executive Functioning (e.g., attention, organizational skills)
• Learning and memory skills
• Language skills screening
• Visual-motor and visual spatial skills screening
• Emotional/personality functioning
• Social/Adaptive functioning

A neuropsychological assessment can be instrumental in understanding a child's learning style and approach processing information in the world around them.
