✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • I specialize in pediatric and adolescent neuropsychology, evaluating children and young adults with learning disabilities, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions. I also work with adults experiencing cognitive changes due to brain injuries, stroke, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative conditions. My goal is to provide comprehensive, developmentally informed assessments that guide diagnosis and treatment planning across the lifespan.

  • A child may benefit from an evaluation if they are experiencing:

    • Learning difficulties that impact academic performance

    • Attention and concentration issues affecting daily life

    • Behavioral, social, or emotional challenges that seem out of proportion

    • A history of neurological conditions, brain injuries, or seizures

    An adult may benefit from an evaluation if they have:

    • Memory problems, trouble focusing, or difficulty processing information

    • Cognitive changes after a brain injury, stroke, or neurological diagnosis

    • A history of seizures, multiple sclerosis, or other conditions affecting brain function

    If you or your child have persistent cognitive or behavioral concerns, a neuropsychological evaluation can provide clear answers and actionable recommendations.

  • A neuropsychological evaluation includes:

    • A detailed interview with the patient (and parents/guardians, if applicable) to gather background information

    • Standardized cognitive, academic, and behavioral assessments tailored to age and concerns

    • Observations and questionnaires to assess social, emotional, and executive functioning

    • A follow-up feedback session to explain results and provide a customized care plan

    Testing typically lasts 4 to 6 hours for children and 3 to 6 hours for adults, with breaks as needed.

  • No, as results require careful analysis. A comprehensive report is typically provided within 2 to 4 weeks, and we schedule a feedback session to go over the findings and next steps.

  • Yes! I accept referrals from schools, pediatricians, neurologists, psychiatrists, and other healthcare providers. I collaborate with these professionals to ensure that my assessments provide meaningful, practical recommendations tailored to school, work, and daily life.

  • After reviewing the results, I provide a detailed, individualized treatment plan, which may include:

    • For children: Educational accommodations (IEPs, 504 plans), behavioral therapy referrals, and strategies for improving executive function

    • For adults: Cognitive rehabilitation recommendations, medical follow-ups, and lifestyle adjustments to enhance cognitive functioning

    Whether the evaluation is for a child, adolescent, or adult, my goal is to provide clear answers and a plan for moving forward.
