Psychological and neuropsychological assessment of children is focused on behavioral disorders of various dimensions (e.g., abilities and limits of perceptual, expressive, cognitive and emotional functions). Additionally neuropsychological diagnosis attempts to explain relationship between behavioral and brain states. The purpose of diagnosis formulated in this way requires careful selection of test procedures and overall integration of different kinds of data. Especially, severally handicapped cases need this kind of diagnostical approach. Limits of valid diagnostic conclusions are determined by many factors that affect coherent interpretation of the test scores (e.g. the lack of a consistently employed neurologic model of brain development to relate to behavioral functions, significant impairment with coexisting sensory and motor deficits, the different effects of brain lesion depending on age of onset, the interference of maturational and experimental variables with manifestation of brain damage).
对儿童的心理和神经心理评估聚焦于各个维度的行为障碍（例如，感知、表达、认知和情感功能的能力及局限）。此外，神经心理诊断试图解释行为状态与大脑状态之间的关系。以这种方式制定的诊断目的需要仔细选择测试程序并全面整合不同类型的数据。特别是，重度残疾病例需要这种诊断方法。有效诊断结论的局限性由许多影响测试分数连贯解释的因素决定（例如，缺乏一个始终如一应用的将大脑发育与行为功能联系起来的神经学模型、同时存在感觉和运动缺陷导致的显著损伤、脑损伤的不同影响取决于发病年龄、成熟和实验变量对脑损伤表现的干扰）。
