The Neuropsychology service within the Pediatric Oncology team offers an important role in the long term outcomes of children diagnosed with cancer in the Hamilton, Halton, Waterloo and Niagara regions. The majority of children treated for cancer incur neuro-toxic effects on the developing brain and the neuropsychology service assesses and monitors for changes across the lifespan. We work collaboratively with physicians, nurses, social workers, child-life specialists and Allied Health in a multi-disciplinary setting. The Neuropsychologist receives referrals from the medical team.
