Neuropsychologist in Transnistria: Bendery and Tiraspol

A neuropsychologist in Transnistria is a specialist who assesses and develops a child's brain functions: attention, memory, self-regulation, spatial awareness, and control over movement — and sees children at Skazka Center in Bendery and Tiraspol.

A neuropsychologist is sometimes confused with a neurologist or psychiatrist, though these are different specialties. Neurologists and psychiatrists are doctors who make medical diagnoses and, when needed, prescribe treatment. A neuropsychologist doesn't work with diagnoses but with how specific brain functions show up in a child's behavior and learning, choosing exercises that develop them.

Who sees patients

At Skazka Center, neuropsychological assessment and correction are led by Anna Glazyrina — a neuropsychologist and behavioral psychologist with 10 years of experience. This combination of expertise allows the child to be viewed from two angles at once: how brain functions are working (attention, memory, planning actions) and how that shows up in behavior and emotions. When needed, Anna works in tandem with the center's speech therapist-defectologist — if speech difficulties are linked to insufficient attention or auditory-verbal memory, the programs are combined.

Common concerns that bring parents to a neuropsychologist

The list is a general guide: the exact cause of the difficulties is determined by the neuropsychologist during the assessment, not from a single sign.

How a neuropsychologist differs from a child psychologist

A neuropsychologist develops brain functions through specific exercises. A child psychologist works with a child's emotions, anxiety, fears, and relationships. If the main concern is about feelings and adjustment, start with the child psychologist page; if it's about attention, memory, and self-regulation, start with neurocorrection. Often both directions are needed at once, and then the specialists build a joint plan.

How the work is structured

Sessions are built around the neurocorrection method: movement-based, sensory, and cognitive exercises gradually train the brain areas responsible for attention, memory, coordination, and self-control. The format is regular sessions, usually two to three times a week, game-based for preschoolers and more structured for school-age children. Progress is reviewed every few weeks, and the program is adjusted along the way. For a detailed description of the method, indications, and course stages, see the neurocorrection page.

Before starting a course, we recommend differential diagnostics: it shows which brain functions are developing well and which need work, helping to plan sessions more precisely instead of choosing exercises at random.

Where the neuropsychologist sees patients: Bendery and Tiraspol

Both branches offer the same format of neuropsychological correction — the only difference is the address and which location is more convenient. Separate pages with a map and booking details: neuropsychologist in Bendery and neuropsychologist in Tiraspol. Differential diagnostics before starting correction is currently held only at the Bendery branch, regardless of which city the family plans to continue sessions in.

How to book

Call the phone number for the branch you want or leave a request on the website — the administrator will find a time Monday through Saturday. If you're not yet sure which specialist your child needs, get to know the team on the "Our Team" page, where you'll find the profiles of the center's neuropsychologist and speech therapist-defectologist.
