Neuropsychologist Winona, MN
Pediatric Neuropsychological Assessment in Winona, MN
Winona families get comprehensive pediatric evaluations at the end of a scenic US-14 drive.
The River Bluff Drive West
Winona is a college town on the Mississippi, and that shapes who calls us. Alongside parents of school-age kids, we hear from young adults at Winona State and Saint Mary's who are trying to make sense of attention, anxiety, or a first hard semester.
The trip west on US-14 through the bluffs takes about fifty-five minutes and is one of the prettier drives in the state.
Winona Area Public Schools (ISD 861) and Cotter Schools both serve families here, and we write reports that either can use in planning.

Bluff Country Families and School Planning
Winona referrals often involve a student whose grades slipped between middle and high school. Testing separates ability from execution: what the student can do, what gets in the way, and whether a diagnosis explains the pattern. Recommendations are written so an ISD 861 or Cotter team can bring them straight into an IEP or 504 conversation.
- Comprehensive ADHD, learning, and autism evaluations
- Board-certified clinical review on every case
- Clear, actionable written reports that schools and pediatricians can use immediately
