Neurological Condition Assessments (Children & Adolescents)
Neurological conditions in children and adolescents can affect cognitive, academic, emotional, and behavioural functioning in a variety of ways. Conditions such as epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, concussion, and other neurological or medical disorders may impact memory, attention, processing speed, learning, and everyday functioning. A comprehensive neuropsychological assessment helps to clarify these effects and guide appropriate support at home and school.
Who May Benefit?
An assessment may be helpful for children or adolescents who experience:
- Cognitive changes following concussion or brain injury
- Epilepsy-related memory or attention difficulties
- Slowed processing speed or mental fatigue
- Difficulties with learning or academic progress following illness
- Challenges with attention, concentration, or executive functioning
- Behavioural or emotional changes linked to neurological conditions
- Reduced school performance after medical or neurological events
- Difficulty returning to school after illness or injury
- Concerns regarding developmental or acquired neurological conditions
Following the Assessment
Feedback is provided clearly and sensitively and includes:
- An explanation of cognitive strengths and areas of difficulty
- Clarification of the functional impact of the neurological condition
- Individualised recommendations for school and home support
- Strategies to assist with learning, attention, and memory
- Guidance regarding accommodations and classroom planning
- Recommendations for further intervention or referrals where needed
If your child or adolescent is experiencing cognitive, emotional, or academic difficulties following a neurological condition or injury, please contact us to discuss a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment.
