Child and Adolescent Services
Learning and behavioral difficulties in childhood are common but can have a significant impact on a child’s success, both academically and socially.
Child & Adolescent Neuropsychology uses knowledge of the developing brain to evaluate, diagnose, and treat children’s cognitive, behavioral, and emotional functioning. A neuropsychological evaluation provides essential information for effective education program decisions and the development of specialized interventions for the child or adolescent.

This helps to ensure that the evaluation is thorough, accurate, and useful. Dr. King is board certified in clinical neuropsychology and has a subspecialty in pediatric neuropsychology.
