Neuropsych Kids is a specialized school located at 441 California Avenue in Palo Alto, California. Dr. Jen Aronowitz, a licensed pediatric neuropsychologist, leads the institution and focuses on providing treatment and support to children, adolescents, and young adults with neurodiversities that may be hindering their progress. With over twenty years of experience in private practice, Dr. Aronowitz conducts comprehensive evaluations to assess developmental differences such as ADHD, autism, and specific learning disorders. She also considers the impact of anxiety, depression, behavior, and socialization on their overall presentation. Dr. Aronowitz values understanding the whole child by gathering information from parents, teachers, clinicians, and spending time with the children to learn about their perspectives, interests, and what brings them joy. She provides detailed summaries and uses research to help parents better understand her conclusions. Additionally, she offers extensive referrals and recommendations to help children thrive. Dr. Aronowitz's most significant education comes from parenting her own two boys, who continually remind her that there is always more to learn.
