Benefiting from an Evaluation
Students who have had learning or behavioral problems, persisting concussion symptoms, moderate or severe traumatic brain injury, , stroke, or other neurological conditions can benefit from comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation to help:
Diagnose developmental learning disabilities (LD) or Attention Deficit Disorder / Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD or ADHD).
Identify any persisting cognitive or psychological effects of concussions and other types of acquired brain injury.
- Provide proper documentation of the need for LD- or ADD/ADHD-related accommodations for a 504 Plan or an Individual Education Plan (IEP) as needed every three years.
- Recommend individualized accommodations for a student related to his or her learning or attentional issues (such as extended testing time for school exams or SAT/ACT tests, testing in a quieter separate room, rest breaks during testing, note taker, etc).
- Recommend other clinical evaluations or services that may be needed to address the student’s needs.
- Monitor changes over time in a student’s strengths and cognitive difficulties.
Our neuropsychologists are available to take part in educational team meetings to explain test findings and advocate for the implementation of appropriate accommodations.
