Developmental Neuropsychology Practice in the San Francisco Bay Area
Developmental neuropsychology is a specialized field that focuses on the interaction of brain functioning, learning, behavior, and emotions.
Evaluations of children, adolescents, and young adults are indicated when there are concerns about how the individual learns or when one wishes to understand the factors interfering with the ability to function at a level consistent with aptitude. Each evaluation is designed to identify strengths and challenges, clarify diagnoses, and guide effective interventions at home and in school.

About Dr. Cunningham
I am a pediatric neuropsychologist in private practice in San Rafael, California. I began my career as a regular education teacher working in San Francisco and San Mateo. Due to a particular interest in the causes of reading disorders and issues related to learning, I acquired additional training as a reading specialist and continue to hold regular education and specialist teaching credentials.
Driven by a deep interest in understanding how children learn and the causes of academic challenges, I pursued advanced studies in neuropsychology. In 1983, I earned a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and Special Education, with a focus on Neuropsychology and Learning Disabilities, from the University of California, Berkeley. Following my doctoral studies, I served as director of an educational program for adolescents with attentional difficulties, learning disabilities, and emotional challenges. I became a licensed psychologist in California in 1987.
