What to Expect After Your Child's Neuropsychological Evaluation
At Springboard Neuropsychological Assessments, our commitment to your child's well-being extends beyond the evaluation day. Understanding the post-evaluation process can help you make the most of the insights gained. Here’s a detailed guide to what happens after the evaluation.
Gathering Information from Others
Step 1
Gathering Information from Others
Collecting Additional Insights
With your permission, we may reach out to your child's teachers, doctors, or other professionals involved in their care. This helps us gain a more comprehensive understanding of your child's functioning in different settings. The additional information can provide valuable context and help us identify patterns that may not be evident during the evaluation alone.
Step 2
Analysis and Interpretation
Analyzing the Data
After gathering all the information, we carefully analyze the results to identify patterns and connections. This thorough analysis helps us create a clear picture of your child's strengths and challenges. We summarize these findings in a detailed report, which serves as a roadmap for understanding your child's unique profile.
Step 3
Feedback and Recommendations
Discussing the Findings
About two weeks after the testing session, we'll meet with you again to discuss the findings and explain everything in an easy-to-understand manner. This meeting is an opportunity for you to ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of your child's cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. 1-2 weeks after this feedback session, we will provide you with a copy of the detailed report.
Personalized Recommendations
Based on the evaluation results, we will offer personalized recommendations for supporting your child's development. These recommendations may include specific strategies, interventions, or accommodations that can be implemented at home, in school, or in other settings.
Step 4
Treatment Recommendations
Discussing Treatment Options
While neuropsychologists do not prescribe medications, we may discuss potential treatment recommendations with you. Any recommendations for prescription medications will need to be discussed with your child’s pediatrician or family doctor. Additionally, we may recommend certain types of therapy, such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, or behavioral therapy. These recommendations may need to be approved by your doctor and/or your insurance company.
Collaborating with Other Providers
The neuropsychological evaluation can be a valuable tool for your child's healthcare providers and educators. It can help them decide on appropriate treatments or set specific goals for your child's development. We encourage collaboration with your child's medical and educational teams to ensure a cohesive approach to their care.
