Kara J. Rudisill, Psy.D. (she/her/hers)
pediatric neuropsychologist
I am a pediatric neuropsychologist and licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in the evaluation of children, adolescents, and teenagers presenting with various neurological, neurocognitive, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Additionally, I am trained to provide developmental evaluations for concerns related to fine/gross motor skill development, receptive/expressive language skills, and socio-emotional reciprocity for children as young as age two. I strive to conduct evaluations and provide reports that are not only informational, but practical, digestible, and actionable.
Dr. Kara Rudisill earned a master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University and a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with an emphasis in neuropsychology, from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM).
