Game as a mechanism of neuropsychological diagnosis and treatment

a scientific and systematic tool for understanding the higher psychological functions and difficulties of the child. By observing a child while playing, a wide range of cognitive psychological functions can be assessed, such as language use, memory, attention, and planning, as well as problem-solving strategies and behavioral adaptation. The game provides an opportunity to observe how the child copes with difficulties, copes with mistakes and learns from his own experience, which gives an accurate picture of the dynamics of psychological functions, and not only the final results. In the context of neuropsychological therapy, play creates a natural and safe environment that allows the child to experiment with new skills and develop weak functions without feeling pressure or anxiety. The game is used to develop strengths and weaknesses in accordance with the principles of neuropsychological correction. Play also integrates emotional, social and cognitive aspects, making it an ideal means to support the holistic development of the child and achieve the goals of the therapeutic intervention in a fun and effective way.
