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 and provides crucial information for developing targeted interventions to help children reach their full potential.
