Why Would a Child Need a Neuropsychological Evaluation? | Your Child's Brain

Many people are unfamiliar with what a neuropsychologist does or why a child might need to see one. However, a child who is experiencing challenges or changes in thinking, problem solving, communication, attention, memory, emotional/behavioral functioning, especially when those issues might be affecting school performance, may benefit from an evaluation by a neuropsychologist. In this episode of “Your Child’s Brain”, Kennedy Krieger President and CEO Dr. Brad Schlaggar, talks to two of his colleagues at Kennedy Krieger who, as co-directors, comprise the shared leadership team of our Center for Neuropsychological and Psychological Assessment Outpatient Clinics at Kennedy Krieger. They are also joined by a parent whose daughter has benefitted from a neuropsychological exam to give a parent’s perspective. Each month Your Child’s Brain podcast will bring together experts in child brain health, including researchers, educators, physicians and therapists as well as families to discuss contemporary topics about child and youth brain health and development. Your Child's Brain is produced by Kennedy Krieger Institute with assistance from WYPR.
