Frequently asked questions
A neuropsychological evaluation for children follows a structured process tailored to the child’s age, conducted in a reassuring and supportive environment. The process begins with gathering information and a clinical meeting with the parents to better understand the child’s development, academic history, observed difficulties, and daily functioning.
The assessment then includes the administration of standardized neuropsychological tests tailored to the child’s needs. These assessments help analyze attention, learning, memory, reasoning, language, and certain executive functions.
The results are then analyzed holistically and presented during a feedback meeting with the parents. A detailed report and concrete recommendations are provided to support the child both at home and at school.
Fees for a pediatric neuropsychological evaluation start at $1,700*.
*The fee and duration of the assessment may vary depending on the reason for the consultation and the complexity of the situation.
A neuropsychological evaluation is recommended when a child exhibits persistent difficulties that affect their learning, concentration, behavior, or daily functioning. Even with strategies already in place at home or school, certain difficulties may persist and raise concerns for parents or the school team.
A neuropsychological assessment provides a better understanding of the child’s cognitive functioning through a rigorous, age-appropriate approach. It helps paint a clear picture of the child’s strengths, challenges, and needs in order to better support them in their development and academic journey.
This approach may be relevant in situations such as ADHD, dyslexia, dysorthographia, dyscalculia, learning disabilities, giftedness, and high intellectual potential, or in the context of a request for an academic exemption. It can also help secure recommendations and accommodations tailored to the school setting.
