Neuropsychological Testing
Neuropsychological testing can help pinpoint specific disorders such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, or other neurodevelopmental conditions. It also helps differentiate between disorders that might have overlapping symptoms, ensuring your child receives the correct diagnosis.
Through testing we assess various cognitive functions, including memory, attention, problem-solving skills, language abilities, and executive functions to better understand your child’s specific strengths and weaknesses and create tailored educational and therapeutic interventions.
Proper testing may lead to targeted therapeutic interventions, such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, or behavioral therapy. A formal test also allows schools to implement appropriate accommodations and support systems based on the testing results, such as individualized education programs (IEPs) or 504 plans. The results can facilitate collaboration between healthcare providers, educators, and therapists, ensuring a coordinated approach to your child’s care.
The earlier you test, the more can be done on behalf of your child. Early support can aid in developing essential skills, enhancing the child’s ability to learn and adapt.
Consider Wellesley Neuropsychology and Assessment as your qualified source for the proper testing of your child or loved one.
