Neuropsychology
For Health Professionals
Neuropsychologists study how people with brain disorders behave, learn, remember and think. Sorting psychological symptoms from neurological symptoms can help doctors make the right diagnosis. In addition, neuropsychologists can:
- Help your child follow the instructions given in treatment plans
- Suggest strategies for you and others who work with your child
- Provide referrals for evaluation and care of mental or behavioral disorders
