Neuropsychological Evaluation
Neuropsychological Evaluation reveals your child's individual strengths and processing challenges. The evaluation is driven by the questions and concerns you share about your child. Dr. Cohen creates a blueprint to help you child reach their potential. Through an in-depth assessment process, Dr. Cohen will discover how your child learns, manages information, and interacts socially and emotionally. With this information, Dr. Cohen can explain why your child is struggling and plan for treatment. From choosing the appropriate therapies to educational planning, you will have clear guidance on how to help your child. The evaluation is used to optimize the school, home, and community environments. Typical referral concerns are autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, ADHD, genetic differences, giftedness and twice exceptional, executive function problems, psychiatric and mood concerns, and nonverbal learning disorder.
