Understanding Neuropsychological Testing

Sometimes it’s hard to know why you or your child may be struggling with attention, learning, memory, emotions, or behavior. Neuropsychological testing is a detailed evaluation that helps identify strengths, challenges, and possible underlying causes.

Private vs. School Testing

How Is Private Neuropsychological Testing Different from School Evaluations?

School psychological evaluations are designed to determine whether a student qualifies for special education services and educational supports. Private neuropsychological testing takes a more in-depth look at how a person’s brain functions, including attention, memory, learning, language, problem-solving, and emotional functioning.

This comprehensive evaluation can help clarify diagnoses, explain the reasons behind challenges, and provide detailed recommendations for treatment, school accommodations, and long-term success.
