Webinar: Evaluating Children Under Age 5
This webinar will discuss the process of conducting neurodevelopmental evaluations of young children under the age of 5.

This webinar will also discuss potential outcomes of these types of evaluations, as well as recommendations for children from Early Intervention through preschool.
Dr. Erin Gibbons is a pediatric neuropsychologist at NESCA. She evaluates children presenting with a range of attentional, learning, and developmental disabilities. She has a particular interest in working with children with autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disabilities, and those with complex medical histories.
