What is Pediatric
Neuropsychology?
Pediatric neuropsychology focuses on how a child’s brain affects their behavior. As a pediatric neuropsychologist I use tests and observations to understand your child's brain function and development. I assess abilities like attention, memory, processing speed, visual-spatial skills, language, and higher-order cognitive skills, such as impulse control, planning, and organization.
