Neuropsychological Assessment

AllCare offers Neuropsychological Assessments for pediatric populations. Neuropsychological assessments can provide parents, therapists, teachers, and physicians important information regarding the mental abilities (including IQ and academic achievement) of your child. Neuropsychological assessments are especially useful in helping to clarify diagnoses and document your child's current level of cognitive functioning. Such information is vital to your child's therapeutic treatment plan and their education plan, especially if they have special needs. For more information or to schedule a consultation, please call (818) 881-5198.
