  • Dr. Baker is a board certified neuropsychologist with over a decade of clinical experience working with children, teens, and young adults at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

It was in the classroom that Dr. Baker became interested in why certain students had more difficulties with behavior or learning than others. This led to him pursuing a degree in clinical psychology and eventually seeking more specialized training in neuropsychology.

    Dr. Baker is currently working select days at Children's Hospital Colorado (CHCO) in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine.

    Dr. Baker provides neuropsychological care to children, adolescents, and young adults with rehabilitation-relevant medical conditions including but not limited to concussion/mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), moderate to severe TBI, cerebral palsy, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. He also specializes in conducting evaluations of individuals with ADHD, learning disorders such as dyslexia, as well as other learning and language challenges.

    Through careful and compassionate assessment, Dr. Baker's neuropsychological evaluations aim to identify each patient’s unique pattern of strengths and weaknesses. He strives to assess the whole individual which includes examining every patient’s diverse cognitive, learning, emotional, social, and behavioral profile. The ultimate goal of each evaluation is to advance the individual’s functioning at home, school and in the community, as well as improve their overall quality of life.
