The comprehensive option
Pediatric Neuropsychological Evaluations
Pediatric neuropsychology is a subspecialty of psychology that focuses on how brain function affects a child's development, learning, and behavior. Pediatric neuropsychologists are doctors who assess and treat children for cognitive and behavioral problems related to their neurological status. Pediatric neuropsychologists can help you understand how your child thinks, feels, and behaves. Pediatric neuropsychologists can help diagnose and treat learning and thinking difficulties. They can also provide a treatment plan for home and school. Pediatric neuropsychologists can provide recommendations for how to advocate for your child, and can attend meetings with teachers and administrators.
Some conditions that may warrant seeing a pediatric neuropsychologist:
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Learning disorders (i.e., Dyslexia, Math Learning Disorder, etc.)
- Speech and language disorders
- Anxiety and depression
and for adults
Adult Neuropsychological Evaluations
Changes in work performance, decline in memory, problems with concentration, and personality changes may be due to any number of medical, psychological, or environmental causes. Using a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation we will interpret your performance across individualized sets of tests in order to arrive at an accurate diagnosis and to help you to plan for the services you need to start living a more holistic life.
IQ & Gifted Testing
Identifying children with gifted intelligence requires standardized intelligence testing. This is an important first step in finding the proper educational placement and setting an educational plan for the future. Assessment techniques used are approved by the AZ State Board of Education and meet compliance with public school gifted program assessment criteria.
Psychological Testing
Psychological assessment helps to understand a person's pattern of behavior, personality, and capabilities. Assessment begins with a clinical interview to get background information about personal and childhood history, work and academic performance, and family background. We then administer a set of tests to learn more about how you function in order to better inform your therapy progress.
Forensic Evaluations
We work with individuals in the legal system to inform court proceedings about a defendant's neuropsychological profile. Dr. Beljan works with lawyers representing clients who have suffered traumatic brain injuries and other acquired neurocognitive deficits resulting from accidents and seek compensation.

Autism Evaluations
We provide multiple types of evaluations for Autism Spectrum Disorder. The traditional approach uses the ADOS-2 to identify whether your child has ASD. We have also developed a neuropsychologically-informed approach for Autism utilizing an integrated model for analyzing not only your child's social skills, but also a whole host of other neurocognitive skills necessary for healthy development.

Psychoeducation & IEE Evaluations
Our approach is more than simply testing intellect and basic academics. We evaluate a child’s academic achievement from the perspective of the whole-brain processes required to produce academic skills. We are dedicated to providing accurate learning disorder diagnoses so that you can get the academic services your child needs to be more successful at school. We utilize an integrated approach to Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE) that link assessment data to meaningful program development and outcomes. Our Director of Academic Services, Kate Haskew, has nearly 20 years of practical experience in navigating public education policy and implementing IDEA and 504.
