Child and adolescent evaluations offer diagnostic clarification, identification of individual strengths and weaknesses, development of educational accommodations, and recommendations for targeted treatment and educational services.
NCS offers the following pediatric assessments
Neuropsychological Assessment
A child and adolescent neuropsychological assessment entails a comprehensive process that involves a series of standardized measures aimed at examining intelligence (IQ), academic mastery of reading, writing and math, and neurocognitive domains such as memory, attention, language, problem-solving, and executive functions. A child’s personality developmental, behavioral and social functioning, and mood state will also be evaluated.
Our pediatric neuropsychological evaluations include:
- Clinical interview with parents/guardian (1-1.5 hours)
- 2-3 days of testing (8-12 hours)
- Feedback session (1-1.5 hours)
- Written report with recommendations
Psychoeducational/Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE)
Psychoeducational evaluations are specialized assessments conducted to identify and understand a student’s learning profile, including cognitive abilities and academic skills.
At NCS, a psychoeducational evaluation involves review of educational history, a school observation, and administration of standardized neurocognitive tests designed to measure intelligence (IQ) and academic performance.
Parents may also want to pursue an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) through their school district. To learn more about the IEE process, please click here.
Academic Screener
Academic screeners assess intellectual functioning (IQ) and academic achievement to identify emerging learning difficulties in one or more of the following areas:
- Reading (e.g., Dyslexia)
- Writing (e.g., Dysgraphia)
- Mathematics (e.g., Dyscalculia)
ADHD/Executive Functioning Screener
An ADHD/Executive Functioning screener is a focused assessment designed to evaluate key aspects of attention, organization, planning, and regulatory behaviors that are often disrupted in students with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and other executive functioning deficits.
