Neuropsychological
evaluations.

• Learning differences
• Attention
• Social skills
• Autism
• ADHD
• A missed diagnosis

Evaluations often focus on learning differences, attentional issues, or difficulties with social skills. Child evaluations are comprehensive, because many factors come together to affect a child’s performance in school. Adult evaluations often focus on a specific diagnosis, such as autism or ADHD, that may have been missed throughout childhood.
