Neuropsychology Services
Dr. Leonard F. Koziol is a clinical neuropsychologist
with specialty board certifications in Neuropsychology
and Pediatric Neuropsychology. He works with children,
adolescents and adults with attention or concentration
problems, memory difficulties,
executive dysfunction, and learning disabilities.
He also provides consultations and clinical supervision for other practitioners. He offers post-doctoral education and training for neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, physicians in related disciplines, and occupational, speech/language, and physical therapists who wish to update their knowledge base.
Dr. Koziol has also served as a forensic psychologist expert in legal proceedings, and is available for case consultation and expert testimony. For more on what Dr. Koziol does, please review his Curriculum Vitae.
Professional Activities
Dr. Koziol has an internationally recognized reputation. His 2009 book,
co-authored with Dr. Deborah Budding, has received world-wide acceptance. This best seller in neuropsychology and
neuroscience was recently released in a paperback
edition and translated
into Japanese. Visit the publisher's website for more information.

His most recent book was released in 2014. Visit the publisher's website for more information. This book calls into question basic assumptions, prominent
theories, commonly used test methods, and even the
phrase "executive
functioning." It takes an evolutionary/neuroscience
look at cognitive organization,
including memory, planning, decision-making and adaptation
to novel circumstances.Gaps are identified
between systems of cognitive control and those behaviors
that are evaluated in neuropsychological testing.

His second book, co-authored with Drs. Budding and Chidekel, was released
in 2013. Visit the publisher's website for more information. This book challenges the current
view of ADHD as a behaviorally defined diagnosis
and identifies the profound disconnect between
current neuropsychological testing and the way
the brain actually works.

Dr. Koziol has authored numerous book chapters and peer reviewed journal publications (see his CV for a complete list of publications). He edited several special edition journals on the topics of ADHD, Executive Functioning, and the role of the cerebellum in movement and cognition. He has achieved the highly unusual and respected "three-peat" accomplishment of publishing three specialty topic papers within the same specialty journal within a 12-month period of time.
His first paper covered the topic of the neuroanatomy of expertise and giftedness; his second paper proposed the first comprehensive neuroanatomy of sensory integration and sensory processing disorders; his third paper explains the neuroanatomic relationship between movement and thought. These papers address important issues and topics not only in pediatric neuropsychological development, but also with respect to understanding brain-behavior relationships across the lifespan (check Publications on the right to download these papers).
At this time, Dr. Koziol is primarily publishing by special invitation from editors. Current accepted topics include a journal series on the development of brain networks and brain systems in children, and how these systems affect attention, learning, and executive functioning; and book chapters about the role of the cerebellum in language disorders, and the neuroanatomy of ADHD.
His publications bridge the gaps between clinical neuropsychology and current
neuro-scientific findings. In addition to his groundbreaking
2009
book Subcortical Structures and Cognition, he
has written several e-books (also available in
paper copies). Topics include ADHD as a model of
brain-behavior relationships and an updated model
of the neuroanatomy of executive functioning. He
is on the editorial review boards of child and
adult neuropsychology journals and participates
as an invited reviewer for varied neuroscience
research journals, including Neuroimage, Developmental
Neuropsychology, Brain Mapping, The Cerebellum,
and Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society
of London - Series B: Biological Sciences. He
is one of the most prolific writers and reviewers
in clinical
private
practice
throughout the country. His clinical practice incorporates
the most recent neuroscientific findings concerning
the development and organization of large-scale
brain systems. Beyond his work as a clinical neuropsychologist,
author and educator, he is widely recognized
for his expertise as a pediatric and
adult neurocognitive/neurobehavioral
consultant.
