Psychoeducational-Neuropsychological-Developmental Evaluations: by referral only- fax to 321 914 0010
Neuropsychological, developmental, and psychoeducational evaluations
Blue Cat Neuropsychology provides neuropsychological, developmental, and psychoeducational evaluations across the lifespan. We focus on diagnostic clarification and functional recommendations when presentations are complex—particularly when neurodevelopmental, neurological, psychiatric, and medical factors overlap. Blue Cat Neuropsychology focuses on the needs of healthcare providers through referral-only services. We do not perform consumer, legal, or forensic evaluations. We offer broad insurance participation (Aetna, BCBS/Florida Blue, Optum/UHC/Oscar/HealthFirst, Cigna, Medicare) to ensure patient access.
Dr. Scott Harcourt is a clinical neuropsychologist with advanced neurology-embedded training through the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, University of Missouri Health Sciences, and Thompson Center for Autism & Neurodevelopment. He has life-span specializations in neurodevelopmental disorders, epilepsy, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, and memory disorders. His evaluation approach reflects a strong research orientation, enabling nuanced differential diagnosis when neurodevelopmental, neurological, and psychiatric factors overlap.
Differentiate among competing diagnoses.
Establish baseline cognitive function for later comparison.
Clarify cognitive and behavioral effects of neurological illness, treatment, or injury.
Identify strengths/weaknesses to guide treatment planning, rehabilitation, and supportive services.
Generate school, workplace, and functional recommendations.
Early Development (approximately 30 months to 5 years)
Developmental delays (language, social, motor), autism-related questions, and early neurodevelopmental concerns.
Instruments include standardized developmental and autism measures, selected to match the referral question and child.
School-Age (approximately 6 to 18 years)
Gifted testing, psychoeducational evaluations, and neuropsychological evaluations.
Common referrals: learning disorders (reading/writing/math), ADHD vs other causes of inattention, autism-related concerns, mood/anxiety effects on learning, complex comorbidity (e.g., gifted + ADHD/ASD/SLD).
Reports support IEP/504 planning and targeted academic recommendations.
Adults
Cognitive and functional assessment related to stroke/CVA, movement disorders (including Parkinson’s disease), multiple sclerosis, dementia syndromes, epilepsy, autoimmune encephalopathy concerns, concussion/TBI, and other medical/neurological conditions affecting cognition.
Baseline and follow-up testing to monitor progression or treatment effects.
A brief report summary of findings and meaning.
A comprehensive report addressing the clinical questions, test results, diagnostic impressions, and specific recommendations.
Practical, functional recommendations (medical, behavioral health, rehabilitation, and school/work supports, as clinically appropriate).
Expedited delivery to the referring clinician.
Availability for case coordination when needed.

Step 2: Scheduling and preparation
Our team contacts the patient/family to coordinate scheduling and initiate records collection and pre-visit measures as applicable.
Step 3: Evaluation and testing
Testing is tailored to the referral question and patient presentation; sessions may be adapted to address fatigue, pain, or attention limitations.
