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

The following practitioners at CPMG are specialists in child neuropsychology:
