When their children are referred for neuropsychological assessment, parents may not always be clear about what it is or why their child may need it.
Kate Sanner, ACSW, LCSW-C interviews Dr. Vincent Culotta, President of Neurobehavioral Associates(http://nbatests.com), who gives a thorough explanation of neuropsychological assessment, why parents would pursue this assessment for their children, which specific problems or diagnoses this type of assessment adresses and the different kind of tests that are commonly used. He also gives an overview of the neuropsychological assessment process, explaining what parents and children can expect.
In addition, Dr. Culotta expertly addresses the concern that many parents have regarding not wanting their children to be labeled.
