Developmental Evaluation

Children are not merely down-sized versions of adults and pediatric neuropsychological assessment requires specific training and expertise. Because many learning disabilities are brain-based, an understanding of the child’s performances across academic, achievement, aptitude, and neuropsychological abilities can provide the most informed set of data. This helps in arriving at an accurate diagnosis and in implementing appropriate treatment strategies and interventions.

Developmental Evaluations employing the Bailey Scales of Infant Development, the NEPSY (neuropsychological evaluation for children) and other types of diagnostic assessments can help in early interventions and provide supplemental evaluation of children/toddlers who are at risk or for whom there are questions regarding developmental attainment.
