NEW and HIGHLY EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS

School neuropsychology is fast replacing the standard methods for addressing issues of children who struggle in school. Brain imaging has allowed for greater specificity in evaluating the underlying processes in your child. It’s similar to transitioning from the old, fuzzy analog TV model, which had been the standard for decades, to the current high definition TV which provides a clear, crisp picture.

 

What is School Neuropsychology?

Traditional psychological and educational assessments are limited because they don’t address underlying difficulties in brain processing that lead to problems in school. Neuropsychology studies the various brain processes that make each of us unique. School neuropsychology uses those techniques and applies them to an educational setting by providing assessment, evaluation and intervention aimed at each child’s individualized needs, resulting in optimal levels of performance.

Not surprisingly, the field of school neuropsychology, with its specialized research, has ballooned in recent years. The emphasis is to ensure that interventions are specific to the student and are based on proven research techniques.
