1. Clarifying the question
The clinician reviews development and health, everyday concerns, and observations from family and school. A focused question is agreed, such as attention, memory, learning, behaviour or language.
2. Tasks and observation
Age-appropriate tasks provide information about attention, memory, language, visual-spatial and executive functions. Fatigue, motivation, language background and testing conditions matter when results are interpreted.
3. Feedback and recommendations
Feedback should explain strengths and difficulties, whether other assessment is needed, and practical next steps. A neuropsychological assessment does not automatically constitute a medical diagnosis.
