Child Custody Evaluations
Why choose Neuropsychological Associates (NA) to complete your Child Custody Evaluation? How are we different from other providers?
We offer a unique skill set that emphasizes how psychological factors, cognitive deficits, and serious medical impairments affect parenting, as well as a child’s overall functioning. Our specialties include complex cases that assess the impact of cognitive and neurological impairments, such as TBI, learning disabilities, psychopharmacology, trauma/abuse and other biopsychosocial conditions on the developing child.
- Evaluations are individually tailored to each case and comprise a comprehensive record review (medical, educational, forensic, employment, drug/ETOH, cultural/ethnicity, social), collateral investigations and direct observation (s).

Personal Injury Evaluations
What is a Personal Injury Case?
Personal Injury Cases or Claims generally involve physical injuries that happen in a variety of contexts, such as traffic accidents, work related accidents, product defect resulting in injury, or injuries related to medical/dental negligence. In some instances, the injury is to the mind (or emotions), as opposed to an injury of the body, such as PTSD related to occupational stress.
