Empowering Young Minds Through
Neuropsychological Assessments
At Springboard Neuropsychological Assessments, we explore how the brain affects your child's thinking, emotions, and behavior to support healthy growth and development. Using neuropsychological testing and clinical observation, we provide clear insight for children, adolescents, and young adults ages 4-24 facing attention, learning, or developmental challenges — most commonly ADHD, along with learning disorders and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). By pinpointing strengths and challenges in areas like attention, memory, problem-solving, and emotional regulation, our evaluations provide clear, actionable strategies that help your child thrive at home and school.
The following is a look at the main goals of neuropsychological evaluations at Springboard Neuropsychological Assessments:
Could This Be ADHD?
ADHD is often misunderstood as simply being unable to pay attention — but it's increasingly understood as a broader difficulty with self-regulation, including managing attention, impulses, effort, and emotions. It looks different in every child. Common patterns parents notice include:
What We Do
At Springboard, no two evaluations look exactly alike. Rather than running a fixed, one-size-fits-all battery, we tailor testing to your child's specific concerns — which often means answering more than one question in a single evaluation. A workup that starts with a question about ADHD, for example, can also clarify cognitive strengths and vulnerabilities and social functioning along the way, giving you a fuller picture and a more useful plan.
Pediatric Neuropsychological Evaluations
Ages 4-17
For children and adolescents with questions about ADHD, learning disorders, or broader cognitive and social development. Rather than testing for a single diagnosis, we build a complete picture of strengths, vulnerabilities, and practical next steps for home and school.
Young Adult Neuropsychological Assessments
Ages 18-24
For young adults navigating the cognitive, academic, and emotional demands of college, career, or independent living. We look at attention, learning, and emotional functioning together, whether the primary concern is ADHD, a learning difference, or general cognitive functioning.

Meet Dr. Roger Erickson,
Pediatric Neuropsychologist
As a fellowship-trained pediatric neuropsychologist — having completed a one-year fellowship in pediatric psychology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and a two-year fellowship in pediatric rehabilitation psychology/neuropsychology at the University of Michigan — I specialize in evaluating factors that could impact your child's behavior and learning. I offer comprehensive evaluations, including a clinical interview, neuropsychological testing, and behavioral observations, to provide insights and tailored recommendations.
I understand how challenging it can be to watch a child struggle. Having worked at a local rehabilitation hospital for many years, I take a habilitative approach to assessment — helping identify and build the skills a child needs going forward, viewed across multiple dimensions of functioning, including cognitive, academic, social, and emotional domains, rather than a single isolated skill or diagnosis. I appreciate the role of assessment in guiding treatment and improving day-to-day functioning, and I invite you to reach out and take the first step toward better understanding and supporting your child's unique needs.
