Neuropsychological assessment for any age/gender

 

At Riser+Tread, we believe in the power of collaboration and connection. The goal of a neuropsychological evaluation is to improve a family’s understanding of a child’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses in order to identify targeted and effective interventions. The evaluation consists of a comprehensive intake interview, followed by 4 to 6 hours of testing, culminating in an explanatory feedback session that presents the results in one coherent picture. A number of areas of functioning are assessed including:

​

​

Comprehensive Neuropsychological assessment: 

​

​

• Approximately 4-6 hours of face to face testing 

• Comprehensive written report with individualized recommendations

• Feedback with parents and child

• Feedback with the student will include a visual graph of results with bullet points of data to support their developmentally appropriate understanding 

• Virtual consultation with current outpatient providers 

​

​

A number of areas of functioning are assessed including:

 

• Intellectual/Cognitive abilities

• Academic (achievement) skills

• Executive Functioning (e.g., attention, organizational skills)

• Learning and memory skills

• Language skills screening

• Visual-motor and visual spatial skills screening

• Emotional/personality functioning

• Social/Adaptive functioning

 

A neuropsychological assessment can be instrumental in understanding a child's learning style and approach processing information in the world around them.
