We conduct comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations of children 6 years and older. Comprehensive evaluations are often requested to determine if a child has a learning disability, ADHD, or other disorder that is impacting their functioning at home, school, or with their peers.
The results from the evaluation are used for treatment and educational planning by recommending appropriate interventions and treatment. Evaluations of high schoolers and college students often also address whether accommodations are needed for standardized testing, such as the ACT and SAT.
Child Neuropsychology of Houston does not conduct forensic or legal evaluations of any kind. We cannot assist with child custody evaluations.
As child or pediatric neuropsychologists, we are licensed clinical psychologists who have specialized training in neuropsychology (brain development). We evaluate thinking and reasoning skills to understand how a child learns and processes information.
We evaluate:
Following completion of testing, we review findings with parents or guardians and discuss recommendations for treatment, home-based interventions, and school-based interventions. A comprehensive report is provided within a few weeks of testing.
At the present time, we do not provide therapy or tutoring services.
While school psychologists use many of the same tests, psychoeducational evaluations tend to focus primarily on academic skills. Our neuropsychological evaluation includes assessment of academic skills but also examines broader cognitive functions like attention, memory, executive functioning, and emotional well-being.
This comprehensive approach helps identify a child's unique strengths and weaknesses and how they learn best, allowing us to develop more targeted supports and interventions.
