Providing Neuropsychological Services in Eagan, MN

My Philosophy

The goal of my evaluations is to understand what it is like to be your child at home, at school and in the community. My assessments are focused on the whole child, understanding their unique strengths and less-developed skills and how they impact cognitive, behavioral, emotional and social development. I am then able to provide you with specific resources and interventions to support your child’s success.

Services

Conducting comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations

Conducting learning disability evaluations, which includes measures of cognitive and executive functioning

Conducting independent educational evaluations

Participating in Independent Educational Program (IEP) meetings at school per parent’s or school’s request

What information will the neuropsychologist need for my child’s appointment?

Please provide copies of any previous medical, developmental, psychological or neuropsychological assessments that your child has had, and copies of your child’s current Individual Educational Plan (IEP), Evaluation Report (ER) and/or 504 plan.
Dr. Miller may have you sign releases for your child’s records.
Prior to your appointment, Dr. Miller will mail forms about your child’s medical history, early development, behavioral/emotional functioning, social history and school history. Please bring the completed forms to the appointment along with any other information that will help you answer these questions.

What should I tell my child to prepare him/her for a neuropsychological assessment?

Children sometimes think that visits to a doctor will involve shots. It is important to reassure your child that no medical exam, shots or painful procedures will be involved in their visit to Dr. Miller.

For school aged children, it is appropriate to tell your child that he/she will be doing many different activities. Some activities involve listening and talking, while other activities involving looking at items, building and drawing.
For preschool aged children, you can describe the neuropsychological assessment as playing games which involve listening, talking and remembering. Let your child know that Dr. Miller will have items, like blocks and puzzles, that he/she will use.

Parents are not typically allowed to be present during testing. If need be, you can let your child know that you will be close by while he/she works with Dr. Miller. Reassure your child that he/she can have bathroom breaks. Your child is also able to bring drinks or snacks into the testing session.

You can help your child get ready for the assessment by making sure that he/she gets a good night’s sleep prior to testing. Make sure that your child has eaten so that he/she will not be hungry during testing. Make the assessment day a special day for your child by leaving siblings at home.

Dr. Miller is available to present workshops for schools and organizations. Below are examples of talks he has given.
