Welcome to Desert Bloom Pediatric Neuropsychology
We support children's growth with expert neuropsychological services and assessments.
What to Expect?
A supportive, step-by-step process designed with your child in mind.
At Desert Bloom Pediatric Neuropsychology, we understand that seeking answers for your child, whether for attention concerns, learning differences, or emotional or behavioral challenges, can feel overwhelming. Our goal is to make the evaluation process clear, supportive, and informative so you feel confident every step of the way.
We provide comprehensive pediatric neuropsychological, Autism, ADHD, learning disorder, developmental, and gifted evaluations for families in Peoria and the surrounding Phoenix area, with a thoughtful approach centered on your child’s unique needs.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We begin with a parent intake appointment to better understand your child’s developmental history, current concerns, and your goals for the evaluation.
This conversation helps us:
- Clarify your questions
- Determine the most appropriate evaluation approach
- Ensure your child’s needs are fully understood from the start
Step 2: Testing Sessions
Your child will participate in a series of structured, engaging activities designed to assess key areas of functioning, including:
- Thinking and problem-solving
- Attention and executive functioning
- Learning and academic skills
- Memory and language
- Emotional and behavioral functioning
Testing is completed in a supportive, child-friendly environment and may take place over one or more sessions depending on your child’s needs.
Step 3: Questionnaires & Background Information
To develop a comprehensive understanding of your child, we gather information from multiple sources. This may include:
- Parent questionnaires
- Teacher input (when appropriate)
- Review of school and/or medical records
This collaborative approach helps ensure that findings reflect your child’s functioning across settings.
Step 4: Comprehensive Report
All findings are carefully integrated into a detailed, personalized report that includes:
- Your child’s strengths and areas of difficulty
- Diagnostic impressions (when appropriate)
- Clear, individualized recommendations
Recommendations are designed to support your child at home, in school, and through any additional services that may be helpful.
Step 5: Feedback Session
We meet with you to review results in a clear, supportive, and collaborative way.
This is an opportunity to:
- Ask questions
- Gain a deeper understanding of your child’s profile
- Discuss next steps and recommendations
Our goal is for you to leave with clarity, direction, and confidence.
Our Goal
Our goal is not just to provide answers, but to help your child thrive, with a clear understanding of their strengths, challenges, and the supports that will help them grow.
Therapy Services
Individual Therapy
A supportive, individualized approach designed with your child in mind.
At Desert Bloom Pediatric Neuropsychology, we understand that support doesn’t end with answers, it continues through helping your child grow, build skills, and feel more confident in their daily life. In addition to comprehensive evaluations, we offer therapy services for children and adolescents in Peoria, Arizona and the surrounding Phoenix area.
Our therapy services are designed to meet your child where they are, whether they are navigating anxiety, attention challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, or stress related to school and daily life.
What Therapy May Support
Children and adolescents may benefit from therapy when experiencing:
- Anxiety, worry, or overwhelm
- ADHD and executive functioning challenges
- Emotional regulation difficulties
- Behavioral concerns at home or school
- Low self-esteem or academic frustration
- Life transitions or stressors
A Thoughtful, Integrated Approach
Our approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your child’s unique strengths and needs. When a child has completed a neuropsychological evaluation, therapy can be directly informed by those results, allowing for more targeted and meaningful support.
For families seeking therapy independently, we take the time to understand your child’s experiences and develop an individualized plan that supports growth across settings.
Parent involvement is an important part of the process. We provide guidance and practical strategies so you feel supported in helping your child outside of sessions as well.
How Therapy Fits Into Care
Therapy services may include:
- Standalone therapy for children and adolescents
- Therapy following a neuropsychological evaluation
- Parent consultation and coaching
