An interdisciplinary approach regarding child development and learning is very important. The Pediatric Neuropsychology Diagnostic and Treatment Center encourages school and education collaboration. The Center's Director of Education and the Clinical team are available to assist parents in collaboration a child's Education team. Together, we discuss neuropsychological evaluation results that assess how your child learns and your child’s ability to adapt academically and socially within a school environment.

Neuropsychological evaluation aides in specifying educational eligibility criteria, intervention and support services -Individual Education Plan (IEP) and Classroom Accommodation Plan/Support Services (504 Plan)- that promote your child’s learning, help prevent regression or poor recoupment of function and empower your child's potential and success.

Neuroscience consultation and professional development workshops/conferences are also available to school districts. We specialize in bringing current brain research regarding brain development and learning into the classroom: "From Brain Scan to Lesson Plan".
