The Neuropsychological Assessment evaluates the brain’s capacities:
- Attention
- Executive functions
- Memory
- Language
- Visual skills
- Social and emotional skills
- Motor skills
What It Assesses: Neuropsychological assessments examine brain-behavior relationships, focusing on cognitive functions like memory, attention, problem-solving, inhibition, visual-spatial skills, and executive functioning. These tests provide insights into how a child processes information and interacts with the world around them.
Importance: This assessment is essential for identifying neurological and developmental conditions (e.g., ADHD, autism, learning disabilities). Understanding a child’s cognitive profile helps in designing targeted interventions that support their unique cognitive needs.
