Pediatric neuropsychology encompasses a broad age range when the area of difficulty is related to a neurodevelopmental disorder or other childhood medical condition.  We serve:

  • Children (Ages 3 - 12)
  • Adolescents (Ages 13-18)
  • Young Adults (Ages 18-25)
  • Adults (Age 26+) on a case by case basis

The Center for Pediatric Neuropsychology delivers high-quality care using empirically supported assessment practices and evidence-based therapy.  We believe that patient care should be collaborative, individualized, and guided by linguistic and cultural considerations.
