The results of these inquiries can be quantified. This information helps parents and clinicians understand how a child compares to a population of children who are developing normally and points to developmental domains that need intervention. As children develop, some may demonstrate social, communication and problem solving skills at a slower or inconsistent rate, which in turn, impedes their development.

Summer Neuropsychological Testing at Ashburn Psychological Services

Staff, APPS2013-07-01T19:22:33+00:00

Summer is an excellent time to have your child or adolescent assessed given that the school year is over and demands and stress are low.

Staff, APPS2018-11-20T13:51:52+00:00

Perhaps one of the biggest challenges faced by educators is how best to teach students who present with difficulty learning. Even gifted children often possess an uneven set of cognitive abilities, which in turn could negatively affect learning and academic performance.
