A child's brain is not simply a mini-version of an adult brain. Brain development starts prenatally and continues until young adulthood. Pediatric neuropsychologists have an understanding of neurological, emotional, and social development that is essential for determining reasonable expectations for a child or adolescent's cognitive and behavioral functioning.   

What can a pediatric neuropsychologist do for your child?

Pediatric neuropsychologists often work with children and adolescents who could benefit from further investigation and intervention toward more successful functioning in school or at home.  Other children assisted by pediatric neuropsychologists have a traumatic brain injury or a medical disorder, and require monitoring of cognitive and behavior functioning. Families are often assisted by pediatric neuropsychologists, who help them to understand and cope with the behavior of a child or sibling with a traumatic brain injury, medical disorder, learning or attention disorder, or other neurodevelopmental disorder.

What does an evaluation involve?

Pediatric neuropsychologists conduct evaluations of the primary thinking ("cognitive") skills necessary for learning by using a variety of tests. They also gather information from other people such as parents or other family members. teachers, counselors, or peers. In addition to determining current levels of cognitive functioning, information from evaluations is used to measure progress over time, and to help children and their families plan for life in later stages of development.
