Neuropsychological Testing and Psychoeducational Assessment

• Do you suspect a learning disability, ADHD, Autism or Asperger's Disorder?
• Do you think your child might be developmentally delayed?
• Do you think your child might be gifted?
• Do you think your child needs extra time on standardized tests such as the SAT?

A School Neuropsychological Evaluation Can Help...

Dr. Rosenfeld’s practice is specialized in a subfield of neuropsychology, often referred to as “School Neuropsychology.” School Neuropsychology examines how impaired brain functioning in children and adolescents can affect their social skills, learning, and academic functioning (i.e., reading, mathematics, and writing). There are a number of specific disorders, often referred to as “neurodevelopmental disorders”, that can directly effect or contribute to academic and social dysfunction, including ADHD, Autism, Learning Disorders, Asperger’s, Epilepsy, Tourettes, etc. To determine the nature of these deficits, testing services often include:

• Neuropsychological Testing
• Cognitive/IQ Testing
• Achievement Testing
• Adaptive Behavior Assessment
• Testing and assessment of emotional & social functioning
• Behavior Checklists (typically completed by parents and teachers)

• Attention/concentration
• Intellectual functioning
• Executive functions (i.e., planing ability, shifting, inhibiting unwanted responses, organizing, modulating emotions, etc.)
• DETERMINING LEARNING, NEURODEVELOPMENTAL OR PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS IN YOUTH
