Does my child need help?
You’re a parent, and you want the best for your child. But sometimes you wonder if everything is “all right.” You wonder why your child is struggling in school, why they have trouble making friends, or whether they should have more control over their behavior.
Parents who come to us typically express one of the following concerns:
My child is not like others.
My child is not like himself.
If this sounds familiar, consider a neuropsychological assessment. At BrainTree, we can help determine if your child’s challenges are the result of a brain-based disorder. Once we know that, we can recommend treatments or coping strategies that will help your child thrive.
If you’re thinking, “My child is not like others…”
Children are individuals, of course, and each one develops a unique set of strengths and abilities. Some children, however, are unable to reach developmental milestones at the expected time and need more help to be successful academically, emotionally, and socially.
Reasons to seek assessment:
It’s okay for your child to be different! But we want them to be able to adapt to the challenges they will be facing as they increase their independence. With the results of an assessment, you can build on your child’s strengths and reduce the challenges that may limit their future success.
If you’re thinking, “My child is not like himself…”
Some children experience an injury (like a concussion while playing sports) or illness (such as epilepsy) that changes the way their brain works. At other times, a change in environment (such as the transition to high school or college) may trigger unexpected behavior in a previously happy, successful child.
We provide a comprehensive assessment to identify how your child is functioning and coping with these difficult circumstances. This information will help teachers, family members, and other caregivers better address your child’s needs. Please contact us for more information.

Reasons to seek assessment:
- Your pediatrician expresses concern over language or motor skills
- A teacher reports that your child is struggling to learn or isn’t making friends
- You notice that anxiety or depression prevents your child from enjoying typical childhood activities
- You see unexpected behaviors that seem different from other children their age
