Dr
Marnie Cumner
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.
Paediatric
Neuropsychology is a professional speciality, which focuses on
understanding how the development of a child’s brain relates to their
cognitive (thinking), behavioural, social and emotional functioning.
Marnie provides assessment, diagnosis and intervention 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.
Marnie uses the child’s individual profile of strengths and difficulties to provide tailored recommendations and intervention for improved learning, behaviour and emotion regulation. She uses a strengths-based model, which focuses on using a child’s strengths to minimise their difficulties.
Marnie receives referrals for assessment and intervention from parents and teachers, as well as medical and health professionals.
