So it's the overarching skills that help to organise us and organise our thinking." - Dr Marnie Cumner Bio… Dr Marnie Cumner is a Clinical Neuropsychologist on The Sunshine Coast, with specialised training in understanding how brain function affects our everyday thinking and behaviour.

Marnie provides assessment services for children and adolescents to better understand their individual strengths and difficulties. She investigates thinking skills, such as, memory, attention, language and problem-solving, as well as social-emotional functioning, academic performance and behaviour.

She uses a strengths-based model, which focuses on using a child's strengths to minimise their difficulties. - - - - More… Enjoyed the podcast?
