Why has a neuropsychological assessment been requested?

Neuropsychological testing can help with:

  • Diagnosis: clarify the causes of learning, attention, or emotional/behavioral concerns.
  • Cognitive strengths and weaknesses: understand learning style and support needs.
  • Treatment planning: identify the most important skills to target and what supports may help.
What is a neuropsychological evaluation?

A neuropsychological evaluation is an assessment of cognitive and emotional functioning (such as attention, learning and memory, language, and problem-solving) using standardized procedures. Results are integrated with history and context to answer referral questions and guide next steps.

When should I seek an evaluation or make a referral?
  • School struggles or declining grades
  • A gap between potential and academic performance
  • Difficulties with learning, memory, or attention
  • Emotional or behavioral symptoms affecting functioning
  • Unclear reasons for difficulty despite effort
  • History of neurological or medical concerns
  • Developmental delays (e.g., language or motor)
  • Need to document changes since prior testing
What should I bring to the evaluation?

If applicable:

  • Prior evaluations
  • School records (IEP/504, report cards, standardized test scores)
  • Relevant medical records
  • A list of medications

If your child uses visual or hearing aids, please let us know and bring them to the appointment.

What happens after testing is completed?

After the feedback session, families receive a detailed report outlining results, impressions, and recommendations.

When requested, we can collaborate with other members of the treatment and education team (e.g., sharing results, consultation, or participation in school/IEP meetings) for an additional fee.

If you still have questions, please contact us.
