How is a neuropsychological evaluation performed?
A neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of many areas of the child’s functioning. Therefore, it is comprised of a variety of tests administered over the course of a full day. Most tests involve the child answering questions or attempting various tasks in a one-on-one testing environment. Many breaks are offered throughout the day, with most school-age children being able to complete the testing in one session. Not only is one session a more convenient option for the family, it also allows the child’s behavior and functioning to be observed throughout the course of an entire school day.
