Dr. Susanne Duvall works with children and young adults and specializes in neuropsychological assessment, which focuses on understanding how the developing brain works in daily life within a person’s medical and psychosocial context. 

Her research interests focus on:

• Development of executive function
• Outcomes in children born at very low weight or prematurely
• Autism spectrum disorder
• Cognition in children with brain tumors

Dr. Duvall is also very interested in cultural and individual differences that affect coping, functional outcome, diagnosis and treatment in those populations. 

Dr. Duvall is the Associate Director for OHSU’s Clinical Psychology PhD Program. She also supervises and teaches graduate students, psychology practicum students, psychology interns participating in the American Psychology Association-accredited internship, and postdoctoral psychology fellows.

She enjoys working with children and young adults with special health care needs and sees patients through OHSU’s autism program, pediatric brain tumor program and Child Development and Rehabilitation Center.
