Comprehensive Neuropsychological Evaluation

If you are unsure of what condition may need treatment or believe your child or loved one may have multiple conditions, a comprehensive evaluation is the right option for you.

A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation involves gathering information from a patient’s background, behavioral observations, and neuropsychological tests to understand a person’s unique development to clarify diagnosis and plan/provide treatment. It involves a clinical interview, a detailed analysis of a person’s behavior in different settings, and the administration of neuropsychological tasks.

Targeted Neuropsychological Evaluations

If you’re concerned about your child’s learning or attention, or behavior, Dr. Salinas will help verify a previous diagnosis, treatment, or both to ensure your child has every opportunity possible to live up to their full potential.

Targeted Neuropsychological Evaluations are focused on one area of concern to clarify a diagnosis and develop a targeted treatment plan. Targeted evaluations include but are not limited to Learning Disability (LD), SAT/College Accommodations, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD and Executive Functioning, Gifted Assessment, School Admissions, Concussion, and Return to Play/Learn interventions.

For parents or caregivers who may not be ready to move forward with a comprehensive evaluation or want answers to targeted questions, this form of evaluation is offered with specific tests selected to answer the most pressing issues. However, if you believe that your child struggles in more than one area, it is important to consider a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation.

Targeted Neuropsychological Evaluations typically have a duration of 3 to 8 hours.
