Services Available at the Center for Pediatric Neuropsychology

We provide many different services that may help you child.

Clinic Services
In our clinic, we use a series of tests to help evaluate how your child's brain works and how that relates to their behavior patterns.  These tests are performed on both in-patient and outpatient basis and are non-invasive.  Through computerized tests and hands-on activities, we will evaluate your child and work with your child's doctor to give in short-term recommendations and development of long-term rehabilitation and remediation programs.

Long-term Follow-up
On a long-term basis, we monitor how a child's brain is recovering and progressing with certain brain disorders.  This long-term evaluation allows your child's doctor to see how different therapies are working, and so they can make any necessary adjustments to give your child the best care possible.
