A Dragonfly Mind: Neuropsychological Services for the Entire Family

A Dragonfly Mind: Neuropsychological Services for the Entire Family Neurodevelopmental services can help you understand your child's mind so you feel more connection. Services available from Chicago to Effingham.

Neurodevelopmental assessment can help you visualize your child's mind (as well as your own) to optimize development and improve relationships. Dr. Marcia Zumbahlen's dual training in Developmental Psychology and Clinical Neuropsychology has given her a unique set of skills to understand the impact of brain functioning on thinking, feeling, and behaving.

•Dr. Zumbahlen draws upon her 30 years of experience in the field and her personal experience as a mother to connect with you in an authentic manner. Because she genuinely wants to make your life better, she communicates her findings in a way that fits your unique way of processing information. Everyone can understand brain-behavior connections.

•Dr. Zumbahlen's diverse skill set enables her to use a combination of objective tests, semi-structured interviews, systematic observations (including the gold standard Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-2), and relationship building to get a picture of how her client's mind works. Her use of relationship building through play or dialogue helps her to make fine distinctions among disorders in relatedness (e.g., social anxiety, pragmatic communication, autism spectrum disorder) and to differentiate bona fide ADHD from alterations in coping or mood.

•Unlike many clinicians, Dr. Zumbahlen's developmental background allows her to go beyond simply assigning a diagnostic label and listing a common set of recommendations. She emphasizes the developmental process underlying diagnostic labels when writing her reports so families can connect the dots in a client's development. She tailors her recommendations to each client's neurodevelopmental level or readiness for intervention so families can prioritize next steps and target intervention at home, school/work, and in therapy. Finally, she provides an impression of the client's development in the context of broader relationships within the family, school, and community.

•Dr. Zumbahlen's support does not stop with the assessment itself. Her extensive work as a therapist and educator enables her to continue working with families to support follow-through on recommendations, solve family problems, provide rehabilitation services, and improve feelings of closeness and social connection. Consultation regarding accommodations for the school or work setting is available as needed.
