Abstract

This article focuses on the use of the Tuberous Sclerosis Associated Neuropsychiatric Disorders (TAND) checklist as a screening tool in pediatric neuropsychological assessment for children with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), a multisystem disorder caused by mutations in the TSC1/TSC2 genes. A case study of an 11-year-old girl with TSC demonstrated variable cognitive performance, including strengths in fluid reasoning and weaknesses in working memory and reading, with overall slowed processing affecting multiple domains. The TAND checklist, completed with parental input, helped clarify cognitive and psychological difficulties, supporting its value as an adjunct to comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation. The findings suggest the checklist may be a useful tool for efficiently identifying symptomatology across domains in children with TSC, warranting further validation in neuropsychological settings.
