Allow me to introduce myself and my Pediatric Neuropsychology practice in Marin County. I perform assessment of brain functions to develop a neuropsychological profile. I have worked in the field of Neuropsychology for over 25 years and have extensive experience assessing children, adolescents, and young adults in English and Spanish. I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Clinical Neuropsychology.
My areas of interest and expertise include the assessment of:
• Learning Disorders: ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Non-Verbal Learning Disorder, Information Processing Deficits, Executive Dysregulation, Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Developmental Disorders: Differential Diagnosis
• Deficits related to Brain Disorders: Neurodevelopmental, Genetic
• Deficitis related to Brain Injuries: Traumatic Brain Injury, Sports Concussion
• Pre/Post Neurosurgery Cognitive Skills
Neuropsychological assessment is available in both English and Spanish. I perform classroom observations, if appropriate. I also perform on-site evaluations, when requested. *Due to safety issues related to the COVID 19 Pandemic, I am not currently offering on-site evaluations unless they are considered an emergency.
Spanish assessment is administered in the Spanish language with neuropsychological batteries developed and normed for Spanish speaking populations.
After the evaluation, you and your child will receive:
• Age-appropriate verbal report
• Cognitive rehabilitation referral for brain injuries or post-surgery
• Participation in IEP or school meetings, if requested
• Individual training for studying skills
• Follow-up consultations
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my practice.
Sincerely,
Maria J. Prieto, Ph.D.
