Dana Chidekel
About
Dana Chidekel, Ph.D., is a clinical neuropsychologist based in the Calabasas/Tarzana area of California who specializes in clinical psychology, forensic psychology, and neuropsychology, with a particular focus on pediatric populations. She holds diplomate certifications from both the American Board of Pediatric Neuropsychology and the American Board of Professional Neuropsychology, and she is a Fellow of both the American Academy of Pediatric Neuropsychology and the American College of Professional Neuropsychology.
Her published research, appearing in journals such as Applied Neuropsychology: Child, Pediatric Neurology, and Cerebellum, addresses topics including ADHD and giftedness in twice-exceptional children, the neurocognitive effects of hyperbilirubinemia, executive function and cerebellar network contributions to cognition, and the neuroanatomic basis of sensory processing and modulation disorders. This body of work reflects a sustained interest in the functional brain systems underlying cognitive and behavioral development in children.
In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Chidekel applies her neuropsychological expertise in forensic contexts. She is licensed in California.
