Developmental Neuropsychology Clinic
The DNC provides comprehensive neuropsychology evaluations for children with learning, attentional, or medical/neurological difficulties, either present at birth or acquired. The goals of an evaluation are to: (a) understand cognitive, academic, and behavioral strengths and weaknesses; (b) provide diagnostic services; and (c) provide individualized recommendations to promote success at school, home, and other settings.
Clinic Information
Dr. Cirino runs the DNC at the University of Houston campus. He is a neuropsychologist by training, and is licensed to practice psychology in Texas.

Under the supervision of Dr. Cirino, graduate students of the Developmental Neuropsychology lab rotate through the clinic, offering a complement to their research work in this area.

Evaluations take place on a single day (Thursdays) and include interviews, testing, and review of school records and teacher reports. Both oral and written feedback is provided approximately 2-3 weeks after the day of evaluation.
