Pediatric neuropsychology is a specialty branch of psychology concerned with brain-behavior relationships in children and adolescents. The brain is involved in everything that we do, from sleeping, to paying attention, to communicating, to learning, to managing our emotions.

Does your child feel sad, depressed, worried, or anxious more than you would like? Does your child have difficulty getting along with others?
