Neuropsychology

Child Neuropsychologists examine how conditions influencing brain function affect a child’s intelligence, learning, memory and behaviour. We provide diagnosis and intervention strategies to promote these children’s’ developmental function academically, socially and in the family context. We see children with a range of conditions, including:

• Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
• Learning disorders or difficulties (e.g. ‘dyslexia’)
• Autism spectrum disorders
• Intellectual disability
• Neurological disorders, e.g. epilepsy, brain tumours
• Acquired brain injury
