Neuropsychologists
For many people, the term “neuropsychologist” is new. Often referred to as a “neuropsych,” these medical professionals can provide an in depth report of a child’s functioning, drawing on the child’s history, the clinician’s observations, and test scores in various cognitive domains, including language, memory, visual-spatial skills and so on. “We look at each specific skill and integrate them all into a holistic picture of the child’s functioning,” says Ann Helmus, Ph. D., founder of Neuropsychology and Education Services for Children and Adolescents (NESCA), a pediatric neuropsychology practice in Newton, Massachusetts.
The neuropsych evaluation can serve many purposes. Among them, it determines whether developmental problems are present, establishes a diagnosis, guides treatment and educational planning, measures progress, and demonstrates eligibility for special education services. Sometimes if it is the child’s educational levels are confusing and the parent does not agree with the school district’s psycho educational report, a parent can request an IEE (Independent Educational Evaluation) with a neuropsych.
