Specialized Training and Experience
Dr. Manfredi is a neuropsychologist specializing in development, learning, and education. She has over 15 years of experience as a neuropsychologist and certified school psychologist and more than 20 years working in the field of developmental disabilities. She is passionate about working with individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders and holds the firm belief that all individuals are capable of learning. She is particularly interested in changing the narrative around education for students with intellectual disabilities from one focused on deficits only to one of growth, potential, and opportunity. Dr. Manfredi’s areas of clinical expertise and interest are:
- Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations of those with genetic conditions, such as Down syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, 22.q deletion syndrome, and other similar conditions
- Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations of individuals with developmental delays or intellectual disabilities, including those with limited verbal communication skills
- Comprehensive evaluation of learning and the diagnosis of learning disabilities
- Assessment and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) for toddlers, children, and teens
- Assessment and diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) across the lifespan
- Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for children and teens with medical conditions affecting learning and behavior or medically-complex conditions
- Educational consultation to inform IEP development, curriculum selection, educational placement, or evaluate possible educational options, whether the child is in a public school setting, private school, or homeschooling
Dr. Manfredi received her doctorate in clinical psychology from Widener University, with concentrations in school psychology and neuropsychology. She completed an APA-accredited internship through Widener University’s Institute for Graduate Clinical Psychology, with rotations at a private practice in neuropsychology in Bryn Mawr, PA and in the Department of Neurology at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in north Philadelphia. Following completion of her doctoral studies, Dr. Manfredi completed a 2 year postdoctoral fellowship in the Center for Autism Research at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), where she was a LEND (Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities) fellow.
Dr. Manfredi has workd in a number of clinical settings, including academic, medical, school, clinic, and private practice environments. She opened Neurodevelopmental Assessment and Consulting, LLC in 2015. Dr. Manfredi continually updates her knowledge and skills through continuing education activities (often in excess of minimal requirements to maintain her license), ongoing reviews of research studies and literature, and preparation of informative webinars and learning activities for both public and professional audiences.
Outside of work, Dr. Manfredi can be found spending time with her family, including her husband and three children. She is the parent to a child who was born premature, as well as a child with Down syndrome and a number of significant medical complexities. As such, Dr. Manfredi is acutely aware of the strengths and challenges facing individuals and families affected by neurodevelopmental conditions, which allows her to approach her evaluation and consultation activities with a level of empathy, understanding, and knowledge that only results from personal experience. Her professional approach, informed and shaped by these personal experiences, values the dignity and abilities of all people.
