Why Would Someone Need Such a Comprehensive Neuropsychological Assessment?
When someone – usually a school age child, adolescent or a college/graduate student – is experiencing a pattern of difficulty in one or more areas of their school functioning. I can help develop a deeper understanding, which can lead to more targeted, and therefore more successful, interventions.
Common Patterns of Difficulty Might Be:
• Problems paying attention in classes
• Difficulty following through and completing assignments
• Struggling to get reading done because it takes too long
• Reading, but not understanding what was read
• Getting frustrated trying to finish tests on time
• Disparity between honors-level grades in school and low scores on standardized tests
• Declining grades in school
• Experiencing anxiety and/or depression related to school-related performance
• Taking too long to organize and write papers
• Distracting and impulsive behaviors interfering with school and social success
