EASTSIDE CHADD Apr.27: 7-8:30 p.m. Neuropsych Role in ADHD Evaluations/Treatment

Register now to learn how neuropsychological evaluations can play a key role in understanding and managing ADHD. Neuropsychologist Dr. Larissa Del Piero explains what neuropsychologists do, how they differ from other mental health providers, and when a neuropsychological evaluation may be especially helpful.

Can other conditions mimic or complicate ADHD symptoms? What if current treatments aren’t working as expected or when formal accommodations for school or standardized tested are needed?

Learn what to expect during an ADHD evaluation, how testing reveals a detailed picture of cognitive strengths and weaknesses such as attention, memory, processing speed, and executive function to provide personalized, practical recommendations that can improve daily life, whether or not a ADHD diagnosis is ultimately confirmed. Concrete strategies for managing attention and executive functioning challenges will be discussed.

Dr. Del Piero, a UW clinical assistant professor in Rehabilitation Medicine, specializes in comprehensive evaluations that help people understand their cognitive strengths and weaknesses to inform their care and improve their lives. She also has authored or co-authored over 50 peer reviewed publications and presentations in clinical psychology and neuropsychology. Her private practice, Pacific Brain Health and Wellness, is located in West Seattle.
