Neuropsychological Evaluations Early identification is vital in helping children succeed academically as well as socially. Autism and other developmental disorders can be identified prior to beginning school, and dyslexia and ADHD can be identified as early as kindergarten. Signs pointing to these disorders can be identified even earlier. The earlier children begin the appropriate course of treatment the less chance there is of later problems with learning and/or self-esteem. While early identification is ideal there are times when problems do not become apparent until adolescence or even adulthood. In addition to evaluations geared towards academic success, neuropsychological testing is also a valuable component in assessing cognitive functioning after a traumatic brain injury, concussion, or during the course of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
