What is neuropsychological testing?
Pediatric neuropsychological testing is a comprehensive assessment of a child's brain functioning and its relationship to their behavior, learning, and emotions. It is a tool for understanding the complex relationship between a child’s brain development and their everyday functioning. It provides crucial information for developing targeted interventions to help children reach their full potential. Essentially, your child is struggling and a neuropsychological evaluation can help to understand why!
What should my child bring on the day of testing?
-Snacks, water, and lunch (or, you are welcome to leave the office for lunch)
-Previous evaluation reports and relevant medical or educational documents (e.g., IEP, 504 Plan)
When will I get a written report?
Dr. D’Anna prioritizes efficient processing, with a completed report and feedback session typically provided within three to four weeks following the testing date.
Will I be able to understand the report?
Drawing upon extensive experience in generating and reviewing psychological testing reports, Dr. D’Anna prioritizes the extraction of practical, actionable insights from assessment results. While acknowledging the inclusion of quantitative data such as scores and percentiles, her reporting methodology emphasizes clarity and conciseness, minimizing technical jargon to facilitate a fundamental understanding of the child's profile and needs.
