Behavioral Concerns in Children: Testing and Insight in Providence, RI
How do I know if my child’s behavior issues are because of something more serious?
If your child’s behavior has become a daily challenge, you’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong. Whether it’s outbursts, defiance, impulsivity, or emotional ups and downs, these behaviors are often signs of something deeper.
At BrainWise in Providence, RI, we help families uncover the “why” behind behavioral concerns through expert neuropsychological evaluation.
When should behavior become a concern?
All kids act out from time to time. But certain behaviors may point to something more:
Frequent tantrums or emotional meltdowns
Trouble with transitions or following rules
Aggression toward others or self
Impulsivity or hyperactivity
Difficulty with focus or staying on task
Social challenges or isolation
These behaviors might be related to ADHD, Autism, anxiety, trauma, or learning differences. Our job is to help you understand what’s really going on.
What testing can reveal about behavioral issues
Behavioral challenges rarely exist in isolation. That’s why we look at the whole child—not just the behavior.
A neuropsychological evaluation at BrainWise can:
Clarify if a mental health or neurodevelopmental condition is present
Identify strengths and challenges in thinking, attention, and self-regulation
Offer diagnostic insight that guides therapy or medication decisions
Support school-based accommodations or behavior plans
