When a child or teen is struggling academically, emotionally, behaviorally, or socially, an evaluation can provide clarity, but parents may not know when testing is appropriate or which type to pursue.
Join Dr. Serena Mainiero and Ngozi Igwe for an evidence-based discussion of neuropsychological testing and psychological evaluations for children and adolescents. Presenters will explain how these evaluations differ, what families can expect throughout the process, and how findings can guide individualized treatment, school supports, and practical next steps.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Recognize when to consider an evaluation: Identify persistent learning, attention, executive functioning, behavioral, emotional, or developmental concerns that may benefit from further assessment.
- Understand evaluation options: Learn what neuropsychological testing and psychological evaluations assess, including psychological evaluations for children and teens ages 8 and older.
- Choose an appropriate starting point: Consider the child’s primary concerns, developmental history, current functioning, and the questions the family hopes to answer.
- Prepare for the evaluation process: Understand what may be involved, including interviews, questionnaires, testing appointments, records review, feedback, and a written report.
- Use the findings effectively: Learn how results can inform diagnoses, tailored treatment recommendations, school accommodations, referrals, and strategies for home.
- Take actionable next steps: Know what questions to ask a testing provider and what information to gather before requesting an evaluation.
Whether you are beginning to notice concerns or have already been advised to pursue testing, this webinar will help you make a more informed decision about the support that may best fit your child or teen.
