Neuropsychological Evaluations

As a parent it can be difficult to watch your child struggle without knowing how to help. We are here to support you in identifying and meeting your child’s specific needs. 

Neuropsychological evaluations provide detailed information about a child’s thinking, learning, attention, and social, emotional, and behavioral functioning. This information allows us to direct you to the supports and resources that will allow your child to thrive.

Our goal is to give your child their best chance of achieving happiness and success at home, at school, and in the community.

Who may benefit from a neuropsychological evaluation?

Neuropsychological evaluations can be appropriate for children with a variety of backgrounds and presenting concerns. The most common populations our pediatric neuropsychologists see include children with the following:

  • Prenatal exposure to alcohol
    (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders; FASDs)
  • Prenatal exposure to illegal substances
  • Premature birth
  • Birth complications
  • Chromosomal/genetic differences
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (Concussion)
  • Seizure
  • Stroke
  • Brain tumor
  • History of chemotherapy and/or radiation
  • Language disorders
  • Intellectual disabilities
  • Learning disabilities (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia)
  • Attention problems (ADHD)
  • Social difficulties (Autism Spectrum Disorder, Social/Pragmatic Communication Disorder, Nonverbal Learning Disorder)
  • Emotional problems (Anxiety, Depression)
  • Behavioral difficulties (Anger, Outbursts)
  • Trauma, abuse, and other adverse childhood experiences

What is the evaluation process?

STEP 1 – Contact Us

Contact us by phone (952-236-1267) or via the contact form.

STEP 2 – Complete Paperwork

Complete the intake paperwork via the patient portal.

STEP 3 – Schedule Appointments

Schedule the evaluation by phone. Most children will require one full day of testing. Caregivers will then meet with the evaluating clinician for a second appointment one week later to review results and discuss treatment planning.

STEP 4 – Attend Appointments

Attend the appointments. A legal guardian must be present with the child for the full day testing appointment. During the testing appointment we will conduct interviews and administer tests. The second appointment is a one-hour telehealth meeting with caregivers during which results and treatment recommendations will be reviewed.

STEP 5 – Written Report

Obtain the written report. We will send you a detailed neuropsychological evaluation report approximately 4-6 weeks after your final appointment.

STEP 6 – Implement Treatment

Implement treatment recommendations and watch your child gain the support and confidence they need to grow!

STEP 7 – Schedule Follow-Up Evaluations

We will contact you to schedule follow-up evaluations as recommended by your provider to ensure your child continues to thrive. You can also contact us for re-evaluation prior to major life transitions, when growth plateaus, or when new obstacles emerge. We will be happy to help!
