The Pediatric Neuropsychology Program at Tampa General Hospital provides neuropsychological evaluations for children from 18 months to young adulthood. Neuropsychological evaluations are completed when children have learning problems that are a direct result of a medical, neurological or neurodevelopmental disorder. The program serves children with a diverse range of conditions and provides family-centered care within a confidential environment. Our licensed pediatric neuropsychologists conduct evaluations in collaboration with individuals involved in the child’s care to help support the child’s unique needs.
