When your child is struggling with learning, emotions, attention, or behavior, it’s hard to know where to turn. You want answers—and the right support. Many professionals offer testing, but not all evaluations are the same.
As a pediatric neuropsychologist, my approach is different. I don’t just look at one symptom or checkbox. I look at your child as a whole person—because that’s what they are.
🔍 I Look at the Full Picture
Your child’s brain is complex, and everything is connected—thinking, emotions, behavior, and learning. That’s why I assess all of these areas together, including:
- Attention and focus
- Memory and processing speed
- Language and communication
- Learning strengths and struggles
- Emotions, behavior, and social skills
Why? Because the brain doesn’t work in pieces—and your child’s evaluation shouldn’t either.
🤔 Why This Matters
Many challenges can look similar on the surface but have different causes underneath. For example:
- Trouble focusing might look like ADHD—but could be anxiety or learning struggles.
- Reading issues might be dyslexia—or they could stem from attention, memory, or language processing.
- Executive functioning difficulties could be related to autism, ADHD, trauma, or something else entirely.
If we only test one area, we might miss the real story—and that means your child might not get the right support.
🚫 A One-Size-Fits-All Evaluation Doesn’t Work
Not everyone who does “testing” is a neuropsychologist. Some evaluations use standard checklists or pre-set test batteries that don’t dig deep enough. These can:
- Miss important patterns
- Lead to misdiagnosis
- Result in ineffective school plans
- Force families to seek multiple evaluations, delaying help and costing more money
Your child deserves better.
🎯 What Makes My Evaluations Different
As a pediatric neuropsychologist, I have specialized training in how children’s brains develop and how neurological differences affect learning, emotions, and behavior.
This allows me to:
- Tailor the evaluation to your child’s unique needs
- Look for subtle or overlapping conditions
- Connect the dots between what’s happening at school, at home, and in your child’s brain
- Provide clear, practical, and personalized recommendations
📈 Better Understanding = Better Support
When we understand how your child thinks, feels, and learns, we can create a clear plan to help them succeed—not just in school, but in life.
That’s what a good evaluation should do. That’s what I aim to provide for every family I work with.
💬 If You’re Feeling Stuck…
If past evaluations have left you with more questions than answers—or if you’re not sure your child’s challenges are being fully understood—I’m here to help.
Let’s work together to give your child the support, clarity, and confidence they deserve.
