Neuropsychology
Neuropsychology is a subspecialty of clinical psychology that specializes in the diagnostic assessment and treatment of individuals with disorders related to cognitive, academic, learning, social, emotional, or other developmental issues.
What distinguishes a clinical neuropsychologist from other clinical psychologists is an extensive knowledge of the brain-behavior relationship, including an understanding of areas such as: neurocognitive functioning, neuroanatomy, neurological illness or injury, neurodevelopment, the use of neuropsychological tests to accurately assess cognitive deficits, emotional disorders, behavioral disturbances, and the management/treatment of brain injured or neurocognitively impaired individuals.
NEAT neuropsychologists hold an advanced degree in clinical psychology (a doctorate level qualification: Ph.D.) and have completed further studies in neuropsychology, neurology, and related disciplines.

educational specialists
Our NEAT Education Specialist holds an advanced academic degree with a focus on understanding how an individual learns in educational settings, the effectiveness of educational interventions, the approach of teaching, and the psychology of schools as organizations. Educational evaluations are concerned with how a student learns and develops, often focusing on subgroups such as the gifted child and those with specific learning or developmental disabilities.Educational therapy is an intensive process of teaching and learning. Each child's program is designed to meet that child's individual needs.
Educational therapy strengthens a student's academic and processing weaknesses through specialized methodologies and teaching materials. Teaching is presented in an organized, structured, and sequenced approach.
