When a child struggles with learning, attention, behavior, or emotional regulation, parents naturally want answers. Michelle C. Delehant, Ph.D., Inc. offers comprehensive neuropsychological testing for children in Mokena, Illinois, to help families understand their child’s unique cognitive strengths and challenges. Dr. Delehant works closely with families to identify underlying factors affecting development and well-being.

How Neuropsychological Testing Works for Kids

Neuropsychological testing for children uses age-appropriate, research-based assessments to measure areas such as:

• Attention and focus
• Memory and learning skills
• Problem-solving and reasoning
• Language and communication abilities
• Emotional and behavioral regulation

During the evaluation, children participate in engaging tasks, puzzles, and activities designed to be comfortable and supportive. Parents or caregivers are also interviewed to gather important background information and developmental history.

Why Neuropsychological Testing Matters in Childhood

A child’s brain is constantly developing, and early identification of challenges can make a big difference in long-term outcomes. Testing can help diagnose conditions such as:

• ADHD and other attention disorders
• Learning disabilities (reading, writing, math)
• Autism spectrum disorder
• Developmental delays
• Emotional or behavioral disorders

How Results Guide Support and Interventions

The results of a neuropsychological evaluation offer a roadmap for helping your child succeed. Dr. Delehant provides detailed feedback to parents and, when appropriate, educators. Recommendations may include academic accommodations, targeted therapies, or behavioral strategies to support learning and emotional well-being.
