Dr. Roth-Wall conducts child and family therapy and psychological testing for children with:

o ADHD
o Autism and Asperger’s disorder
o Behavioral problems
o History of child abuse

She practices cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy and solution-focused family therapy. She has worked in pediatric neuropsychology, an ADHD clinic, a newborn follow-up clinic, and on a behavioral medicine consult team. She has administered all the major assessments for children and adults.

Dr. Roth-Wall say, “I have assessed and treated children of all ages, beginning with preverbal infants. I can engage and delight children at almost any age, which means I can comfort them, elicit their cooperation and compliance, and help them heal.”

Her past research was conducted with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers on the topics of early language and cognitive development, and was funded by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the March of Dimes Foundation.
