Dr. Kelly
is a licensed psychologist in Pennsylvania who specializes in the
neuropsychological aspects of learning disorders. She holds her doctorate in School
Psychology from Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she developed
her strong interest in developmental dyslexia. She received specialized predoctoral and
postdoctoral fellowship training in the area of pediatric neuropsychology
and rehabilitation psychology from Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City, UT and the duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, DE.
Dr. Kelly has a private
practice specializing in developmental and educational neuropsychological
evaluations. A neuropsychological
evaluation is the analysis of the neurocognitive and psychological factors
that affect the way a child learns and functions. Because learning and attention disorders
are known to be neurologically based, a comprehensive diagnostic and
prescriptive evaluation should include analysis of neurocognitive
functioning in addition to intellectual and academic skills. To learn more about this service, click here.
