Why Choose a Neuropsychologist to Assess Learning Disability (LD)?
Neuropsychologists are specially trained to understand and evaluate the relationships between brain functioning, behavior, psychological functioning, and results of structured tests. These comprehensive evaluations include assessment of executive mental functions, such as planning, organizing, prioritizing, and monitoring one’s performance. This assessment contributes to the diagnosis of subtle disabilities, and clarifies the nature of any cognitive problems underlying LD. Clinical Psychology Associates of North Central Florida, P.A., the parent of this site, has more information on learning disability resources and the neuropsychological assessment of learning disability on it’s ldassessment.com website and their articles and archives page.
