She evaluates children and adolescents who are struggling in school, home, or community settings (e.g., due to attentional or learning difficulties, social or emotional challenges, or behavioral dysregulation), supports returning to school and sport following injury (e.g., sports-related concussion), and monitors functioning and development over time for students with known medical, neurological, or neurodevelopmental conditions (e.g., brain injury, epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder, tics/Tourette syndrome).
Dr. Conklin also assesses adults with subjective cognitive complaints (e.g., due to suspected ADHD or concerns regarding
memory decline), chronic medical issues (e.g., multiple sclerosis, brain injury, insomnia, chronic pain), or psychiatric difficulties (e.g., anxiety, depression, or trauma), and provides diagnostic evaluations to navigate neurological differentials (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia). She collaborates with clients, families, and other professionals and providers to promote brain health and overall wellness at all ages.
Dr. Conklin is an accomplished scientist-practitioner with an extensive research background in child and adolescent development, cognitive development, executive functioning changes across the lifespan, as well as traumatic brain injury, disability, and rehabilitation. She has received national grant funding for her research, published scientific journal articles throughout her doctoral and postdoctoral training, and presented her findings in local, national, and international meetings.
