Child and Adolescent Neuropsychology

Neuropsychology, the discipline responsible for studying and analyzing the functioning of the brain in
relation to behavior, is one of the areas of knowledge and professional practice most
demanded today. When we talk about the child or pediatric field of this discipline,
this impact and need increases exponentially, as can be easily seen in
recent years across multiple indicators.
