Jason Nelson, PhD

I have been a licensed psychologist and Nationally Certified School Psychologist for approximately 15 years. For most of my career, I have worked at the University of Georgia Regents’ Center for Learning Disorders. There, I have assessed hundreds of individuals suspected of various learning, attention, and other neurodevelopmental concerns. I have worked with individuals from many age groups, ranging from preschool to adulthood. I have extensive experience working with schools to help find the best ways for students to be successful.I have also had the unique opportunity to conduct original research on neurodevelopmental conditions. I have published over 50 studies in scientific journals. Some topics I have published on include ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and giftedness (see below for a list of my publications). I have also served on the editorial boards of multiple scientific journals. Because of my research background, I try to use the strongest scientific findings to guide my evaluations. I also strive to make recommendations for treatments and interventions that have been shown by research to be most effective.
