Duke Pediatric Neuropsychology
The providers at the Duke Pediatric Neuropsychology Clinic offer evaluation of your child’s cognitive function after they’ve experienced brain injury, chronic disease, or other factors that put them at risk for cognitive problems. A referral from a Duke provider is required. Evaluations are created to be enjoyable and include talking with your child, solving puzzles, constructing with building blocks, and memory tasks. There are no clinical procedures like taking vitals or drawing blood.

Services
The goal of our evaluations is to assess your child's problem-solving abilities, memory, attention, and visual-motor functioning. A session lasts between two-and-four hours with scheduled breaks. Nearly all evaluations are completed in one visit.
- If your child is nonverbal, we can still complete a series of tests to determine levels of cognitive function.
- Testing is only completed in English, so your child must be proficient. It is not required that parents or caregivers be fluent in English. Interpreters are available.
Results of our evaluation are sent to you within a month through Duke MyChart. We recommend a follow-up appointment with our providers after you receive the results so our team can review them with you and discuss next steps.
Following your child’s evaluation, we’ll share the results with other providers in your child’s care team. Our findings help you and our team understand any impact that your child’s medical or neurological disorder may have on daily function and development. Results may also provide information to your child’s school for any development of educational plans, as well as eligibility for additional services to support learning.
