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.
- Intelligence (IQ): Assess cognitive potential, reasoning, and problem-solving skills.
- Academic Skills: Mastery of reading, writing, and math to detect gaps or strengths.
- Neurocognitive Functions: Memory, attention, language, visuospatial abilities, and executive functions.
- Behavioral & Emotional Development: Mood states, social functioning, and personality traits.
Our pediatric neuropsychological evaluations include:
- Clinical interview with parents/guardian (1-1.5 hours)
- 2-3 days of testing (6-10 hours)
- Feedback session (1-1.5 hours)
- Written report with recommendations
Psychoeducational Evaluation
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 a review of educational history, a school observation, and the administration of standardized neurocognitive tests designed to measure intelligence (IQ) and academic performance.
ADHD Evaluation & Executive Functioning Screener
An ADHD and Executive Functioning evaluation is a targeted assessment designed to identify challenges in attention, organization, planning, and behavioral regulation—key areas often disrupted in students with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or related executive functioning deficits. This evaluation focuses on:
- Attention: Assessing concentration, distractibility, and sustained focus.
- Executive Functions : Evaluation of planning, organization, and problem-solving skills.
- Behavioral Regulation: Examining impulse control and emotional adaptability.

- Reading: Detecting signs of dyslexia or reading comprehension issues.
