As an experienced executive function coach, I've had the privilege of collaborating with numerous neuropsychologists in the Bay Area to help students unlock their full potential. The importance of a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment in understanding a student's unique cognitive and learning profile cannot be overstated.
With this in mind, I have put together a carefully curated list of recommended providers in the Bay Area to help parents and educators find the best neuropsychologist for their student's assessment needs.
