Neuropsychology, a division of the Neurology Department, provides consultation and evaluation regarding the relationship of abilities, behaviors and mental skills to changes in brain functioning and integrity in infants, children and teens. We also monitor development and examine the long-term outcome of children with neurologic or systemic disease so that families can plan for the future.
We see patients with neurologic conditions such as seizures, hydrocephalus, brain tumors, strokes, inherited metabolic diseases, neurofibromatosis and more. We also see children with medical disorders that affect the central nervous system, such as leukemia, cardiac disease or auto-immune diseases.
