Neuropsychological Testing for children & Adults

Identify Their Strengths & Challenges

Neuropsychological and psychoeducational assessments are tools to better understand learning, behavior, social skills, or emotional functioning.

This can be the first step in understanding one’s areas of strength and difficulties, the ultimate goal being to better identify goals for change. As children develop from infancy through early adulthood, the skills they need to succeed change.
