[10] Over time, completion of education to at least the high school level has become increasingly common as more and more jobs require skills such as reading and writing.
In order to accomplish this, research focus began to shift from adults who were skilled or struggled to read and write to the developmental processes behind them.
The goal of this research is to understand the neural causes of these problems and how they relate to the psychological aspects of it in order to improve education programs and treatments.
Often these studies evaluate and describe a patient's neural damage due to injury, brain tumors, seizures, or various congenital disorders.
[3] The objective of a neuropsychological evaluation is to have a comprehensive view of a child's overall functioning, including how their brain operates, their strengths and limitations, their preferred learning style, and any potential abnormalities.
