What Does a Pediatric Neuropsychological Evaluation Involve?
A pediatric neuropsychological evaluation typically includes a comprehensive assessment of a child’s cognitive abilities. This may involve:
1. Clinical interviews with parents and the child. 2. Standardized tests to assess various cognitive domains like memory, attention, language, and executive functioning. 3. Behavioral observations to understand how the child interacts with their environment.
The evaluation aims to identify specific cognitive strengths and weaknesses, providing a detailed profile that can guide treatment and educational planning.
