How We Help Parents

  • We can help you understand your child who has attention, learning, thinking, memory or behavior problems.
  • We have specialized training in neuropsychology and pediatric neuropsychological assessment.
  • In addition, we work closely with families and educators to evaluate learning disorders, attention problems, memory concerns, behavior issues, intelligence and achievement, and other issues impacting academic performances or day to day functional impairment.
