A coordinated neuropsychological
and psycho-educational assessment
is recommended for a child,
exhibiting symptoms of certain
cognitive impairment (memory,
attention, comprehension, language),
behavioral problems and executive
deficit and/or emotional
disturbance,
the nature of which needs to be
understood to develop a
comprehensive remedial program for
this child. Our coordinated assessment
includes both neuropsychological and psycho-educational components and gives a detailed analysis of the neurological impairment in question as well as remedial programming and school-related educational recommendations for the child.


In such cases the child may typically live in the adoptive family for several years already, has completely lost the native language and speaks fluent English, demonstrates significant issues in varies psychological domains, continues to lag behind developmentally or exhibits difficulties with specific cognitive and educational tasks. At this point these problems cannot be explained any longer within typical "The child needs to learn more English" approach; the real neurological roots of the issues must be found to address them and find the ways to compensate for them.

In complex cases of neurological impairment(s) a team of two most experienced in their respective domains professionals Dr. Elkhonon Goldberg (neuropsychology) and Dr. Boris Gindis (developmental and educational psychology) will combine their efforts to work with you and your child to determine the roots of the impairment and to develop the best remedial program for the child at school and outside of it.

Call the office for the details of this service.
