Real-Time Neuropsychological Evaluations: A Child Centered Approach™

We believe that embracing your strengths and vulnerabilities is the key to personal growth. To facilitate this process, our evaluations include a unique real-time feedback component to promote understanding and self-knowledge. We value and encourage questions and comments during the sessions – leading to more meaningful and enriching understanding for everyone and to forge a clear path forward.

To accomplish this, we work in teams of two (a pediatric neuropsychologist and a master’s level psychology associate) and:

  • Meet to discuss your observations and clarify your goals

  • Assess cognitive, academic, and behavioral/emotional functions

  • Select measures based on observations, questions, and results

  • Share our results immediately as we gather the information

  • Review all the findings and identify next steps

  • Combining everyone’s input, we prepare a clear, concise, and easy to read written report that details our findings and recommendations

  • Remain available for long-term follow-up consultations

When evaluating children, we

  • Talk with them about the process, and when feasible, discuss their perceived strengths and vulnerabilities and help them clarify what they want to learn from the evaluation

  • Include measures to address their questions

  • Share our results with them in ways they can understand

In addition to traditional neuropsychological measures, we have been incorporating virtual reality to assess attention, learning, memory, and executive functions. We have found that this technology provides a more accurate prediction of our students’ performance in real-life situations.
