Neuropsychological Assessment
Report
Pediatric neuropsychology is a specialty branch of psychology concerned with brain-behavior relationships in children and adolescents.
The brain is involved in everything that we do, from sleeping, to paying attention, to communicating, to learning, to managing our emotions.
Just like every person is unique on the outside, we each have a unique profile of strengths and weaknesses in neuropsychological function.
Identifying one's neuropsychological profile can be the key to understanding the difficulties a person is experiencing and establishing a roadmap for accomplishing personal goals.

Diagnostic Assessment

Does your child have personal difficulties that are getting in the way of relationships or home, work, or school life?
Does your child feel sad, depressed, worried, or anxious more than you would like?
Does your child have difficulty getting along with others?
Does your child feel lost or struggle to complete daily responsibilities?
A diagnostic evaluation can help clarify why your child is experiencing certain symptoms and aide in developing a treatment plan to improve their life.

Comprehensive ADHD Assessment
Report
The PEAKS clinic takes a comprehensive approach when conducting ADHD-related assessments.
Modeled after the ADHD Clinic at UNCG (Anastopoulos & Shelton, 2001), we employ a multi-method & multi-rater evaluation to assess for ADHD, related issues, and to rule in or rule out alternative explanations.
Assessments include a semi-structured developmental interview, a clinical interview, rating scales completed by parents, teachers, self and significant other (when appropriate), computerized assessment of attention, clinical observations, and thorough review of developmental, medical, and educational history.

College Student Assessment
Report
For many, the college years are a time for self-discovery and transition towards independence.
Balancing academic, social, employment, and family demands may be very challenging and stressful for some students.
If this begins to get in the way of your academic performance or relationships, you may benefit from an assessment designed for college students.
