Image The Neuropsychology Program at Children's Hospital Boston offers state-of-the-art psychological assessment of children with medical or neurological illnesses affecting the brain.

We provide neuropsychological assessments and consultation to children and families, as well as to referring providers. Our faculty consists of psychologists with specialized training and expertise in pediatric neuropsychology.

At our clinic, we evaluate children to determine if a medically- or biologically-based problem is contributing to a child's thinking, learning or behavior. We assess children and teens for a variety of issues, including:

  • brain damage
  • brain disease
  • developmental abnormalities
  • neurological/psychological disorders
