Comprehensive Pediatric Neuropsychological Evaluations
You’ve likely tried strategies, spoken with teachers, and asked loads of questions, but things seem to still not add up…
If something feels off, trust that instinct.
A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation helps you understand your child’s strengths, clarify what’s getting in the way, and determine the right next steps.
When Something Doesn’t Add Up
“I know my child is smart, but they are not doing well in school.”
“Homework takes hours.”
“Every night ends in tears.”
“I don’t know if I’m overreacting… or missing something important.”
“Teachers say they’re fine.”
“They get it, but can’t show it on paper.”
Tries hard but struggles with reading, writing, math, or tests
Understands material but can’t show it on paper
Takes longer to complete work
It’s time to consider a neuropsychological evaluation if your child…
Shuts down or becomes emotional around school
Is labeled “distracted,” “unmotivated,” or “not trying”
Is bright or gifted but underperforming
What Parents Walk Away With
A clear explanation of why their child is struggling
Language to advocate confidently with teachers and school teams
Specific next steps instead of late-night Googling
Thoughtful recommendations for school supports (IEP or 504 when appropriate)
You leave with understanding, not uncertainty.
