A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation includes all possible domains of cognitive assessment including intellectual functioning, attention/executive functioning, academic achievement, learning and memory abilities, visual spatial skills, motor functioning, language abilities, social/emotional functioning, and adaptive functioning. Specific measures employed will vary depending on age, ability level, education level, history and referral question. A typical comprehensive evaluation will last between six and eight hours. In situations in which parents desire a professional explanation of results to the Committee for Special Education (i.e., CSE) and additional advocacy for appropriate placement/services in the school setting for their child, they may request Dr. Fontanetta be present at the child's CSE (e.g., 504, IEP) meeting to serve as an advocate for the child by promoting understanding of the child's strengths and weaknesses as it pertains to the effect academic success within the school environment.
