Pediatric Neuropsychology Services
Conditions evaluated, how services work, and how to decide whether Dr. Barnard is the right fit for your child.
What is Neuropsychology?
A neuropsychologist is an expert in the impact of atypical development (e.g., ASD, learning disorders, spina bifida), injury (e.g., traumatic brain injury, birth trauma), disease (e.g., tumor, meningitis), and decline on the brain. Patients can present with a number of complex conditions that, as they grow and mature, impact how they think, learn, and behave. A neuropsychologist helps patients, parents, and teachers to understand a person's brain and the way they function best.
What Dr. Barnard does
Dr. Barnard provides pediatric and developmental neuropsychology services for children and young adults. The work is focused on clarifying how developmental, neurologic, medical, and learning factors affect thinking, learning, and behavior.
How to get started
Families can begin with a free phone or e-mail consultation, then move to the Diagnostic Interview, testing, and feedback if the practice is the right fit.
Common areas of evaluation
Families often scan for the right evaluation fit quickly. These focus areas make the practice scope easy to review.
A neurodevelopmental condition involving persistent inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity that can affect learning, behavior, and daily functioning.
A developmental condition affecting social communication, sensory processing, and patterns of behavior, with needs that vary widely from child to child.
A neurologic condition involving recurrent seizures that can also affect attention, memory, processing speed, and broader day-to-day functioning.
Differences in genes or chromosomes that can influence cognitive development, learning, behavior, medical needs, and adaptive functioning.
Reduced hearing that can affect language development, learning, communication, attention, and how a child accesses information across settings.
Past brain tumors and related treatment can affect memory, processing speed, attention, learning, and broader neurocognitive development.
Prior infections such as meningitis or encephalitis can affect thinking, learning, behavior, and neurological recovery over time.
A condition involving excess fluid in the brain that can affect attention, motor skills, visual-spatial reasoning, learning, and executive functioning.
Medical conditions that affect how the body processes energy or nutrients and may influence brain development, cognition, and behavior.
A broad group of developmental conditions that can affect attention, language, learning, motor development, behavior, and adaptive skills.
Periods of reduced oxygen to the brain can affect memory, processing, motor abilities, learning, and overall developmental progress.
Persistent difficulties in reading, writing, or math that are not explained by effort alone and often need targeted academic support.
Differences in brain structure present from birth or acquired later that may affect development, learning, behavior, and neurological function.
Brain dysfunction caused by exposure to toxins or medical complications, sometimes affecting attention, memory, learning, and emotional regulation.
An injury to the brain from an external force that can affect thinking, memory, behavior, emotional regulation, and school performance.
Stroke and other blood-flow-related brain events can affect cognition, motor abilities, language, learning, and recovery over time.
