Neuropsychological Evaluations

Unlike traditional approaches, our goal extends beyond diagnosis and recommendations. We aim to understand the evolving interaction between the child and their surroundings within a developmental and big picture framework. This entails not only identifying current needs but also assisting families in anticipating and preparing for their child's changing requirements.

As an active provider, Dr. Asal collaborates closely with schools and other professionals. She bridges the gap between medical and neurological understanding and its impact on behavior and learning, particularly in classroom settings. Our holistic approach ensures comprehensive support for your child's cognitive and emotional development.
