Evaluation & Testing Treatments & Strategies Childhood Struggles
Neuropsychological Perspectives For Professionals
Proper evaluation of academic, social, emotional, or behavioral struggles is the
most
important aspect of a child’s care. Pinpointing any obstacles to a child’s
progress in school,
friendships, or outlooks in life is vital to understanding his or her needs. At
MindMatters, we
go beyond a diagnosis to determine exactly what is driving a child’s successes
and struggles.
Below the Surface
Neuropsychological testing helps us to examine all of the important underlying
processes
used by a child to navigate the world. There is so much going on below the
surface that can
help children learn about people and their environment – language, executive
functions,
visual-spatial analysis, attention, and recall memory (just to name a few!). All
are equally
important, but many can be taken for granted.
Dr. John Milanovich, founder of MindMatters, has brought together the most
dependable and
comprehensive set of tools known for discovering the underlying basis of a
child’s struggles.
The resulting cognitive profile, or MindMap, becomes an incredibly powerful tool
that details
all of a child’s talents and vulnerabilities. With the MindMap in hand, parents,
teachers, and
other caregivers have a veritable roadmap to a child’s success!
Eliminating the Guesswork
MindMaps make it easier to plan for educational programming, handling problems
at home,
or assisting with friendships and outlooks. They also lead to more reliable
diagnoses and, with
social-emotional testing (available at MindMatters), can even assist in
medication
considerations. Parents and professionals can finally understand children like
never
before…from the inside out!
