The neurological specialists at Banner Children’s are experts in how the brain works at every stage of development and are here to help if your child is born with or develops a neurological condition. Our team understands how kids think, what they feel and what they need from us along the way.
Pediatric neurology focuses on the care and treatment of neurological disorders occurring in the brain, spinal cord, muscles and nerves of infants, children and young adults.
Pediatric neuropsychology is the study of how the brain and the nervous system are connected and affect a child’s daily behaviors. A pediatric neuropsychologist can help diagnose a behavioral or neurological condition. At Banner Children’s, our team may conduct a neuropsychology assessment or testing to evaluate your child’s memory, attention and problem solving skills. The key difference between pediatric neurology and pediatric neuropsychology is that neurology is the study of the brain and nervous system while neuropsychology is the study of the mind and how the brain works with behavior.
