help NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL Assessment Battery Children (NAB-C) FAQ
What age range is the NAB-C designed for?
The NAB-C is designed for children and adolescents from ages 6 through 18. It is intended to examine several areas of neuropsychological functioning rather than provide a single general intelligence score.
Which abilities does the NAB-C assess?
The battery covers domains such as attention, memory, language, visual-spatial skills, and executive functions. A clinician uses the pattern across these areas to understand a child's strengths and difficulties.
Who should administer the NAB-C?
The NAB-C is a professional neuropsychological assessment battery, so it should be administered and interpreted by a suitably trained clinician. It is not a self-test or a screening quiz for parents to score at home.
How is the NAB-C different from a school achievement test?
A school achievement test focuses mainly on learned skills such as reading, writing, or mathematics, while the NAB-C examines underlying cognitive processes including memory, attention, and executive control. That distinction can help a clinician investigate why a child is struggling, not just measure the school result.
