Getting to know Dr. Aarti Nair
Dr. Aarti Nair is a licensed neuropsychologist with over 15 years of experience working in the field. She specializes in assessment and consultation of neurodevelopmental disabilities across the lifespan. She currently holds a tenure-track faculty position in the Department of Psychology at Loma Linda University, where she runs a research lab with a focus on translational research studies in youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and psychosis. She is specifically interested in applying multimodal neuroimaging techniques (functional and structural MRI, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy) to examine changes in neural architecture affected by targeted interventions in these populations. Her research has been supported by grants awarded by Autism Speaks, Autism Science Foundation, Organization for Autism Research, and the National Institute of Mental Health. Prior to this, she trained in developmental neuroscience and life-span neuropsychology as a doctoral student at University of California San Diego and a postdoctoral fellow at University of California Los Angeles.
At Spectrum Psych, Dr. Nair specializes in comprehensive neuropsychological assessments of children, adolescents, and young adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities, acquired syndromes, and genetic syndromes for the purpose of diagnostic clarification, treatment planning, and educational accommodations. She also specializes in diagnostic assessments for individuals with ASD across the lifespan and youth with early onset psychosis.
Dr. Nair is originally from Mumbai, India and moved to California in 2010 after a few years training on the east coast. LA is now home for her and she spends her free time exploring the many restaurants in the city, checking out all the concert venues the city has to offer, and travelling the world.
