This is a specialized form of assessment which focuses more on the brain-behavior relationships. Assessments are often helpful as a result of a neurological condition (e.g., cerebral palsy, epilepsy, brain tumor), brain injury (e.g., concussion), pre-natal exposure to toxins (e.g., drugs, alcohol, lead), or learning difficulties
Examples of skills assessed include: Memory, Visual Motor & Fine Motor Control, Receptive and Expressive language, Organization, and Attention.
Results often include information on an individuals’ strengths/weaknesses, tips for educational planning, and learning style.
The goal of the assessment process is to systematically identify and conceptualize an individual’s level of functioning. Our assessment process involves gathering information from multiple sources including child, parent, and school/work. The process is personalized to the questions one would like answered. For example, questions that can be answered through an assessment include: “Why does my child have such trouble completing assignments in school?” or “Why does my child throw tantrums? An assessment will provide a diagnostic profile in order to identifying appropriate interventions and accommodations. We will help identify what type of assessment will be most appropriate for you, and guide you through the process.
