# neurotyp-pediatric: pediatric evaluation template

> Install and render the neurotyp-pediatric extension for age-appropriate pediatric neuropsychological evaluation PDFs with developmental section ordering.

The `neurotyp-pediatric` extension generates PDF evaluation reports designed for pediatric neuropsychological assessments. Its layout and heading treatment reflect the conventions of developmental neuropsychology — section ordering, label language, and visual hierarchy are calibrated for child and adolescent evaluations rather than adapted from an adult template.

## Install the extension

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="New project">
    Run this command in an empty directory. Quarto scaffolds the full project structure, including `_extensions/`, `_brand/`, and `template.qmd`.

    ```bash theme={null}
    quarto use template brainworkup/neurotyp-pediatric
    ```

    Quarto will ask you to confirm the directory name. Accept the default or enter a patient-specific folder name such as `2025-doe-jane/`.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Existing project">
    Add the extension to a project that already has a `_quarto.yml` or `template.qmd`.

    ```bash theme={null}
    quarto add brainworkup/neurotyp-pediatric
    ```

    Then update the `format` key in your `template.qmd` front matter:

    ```yaml theme={null}
    format: neurotyp-pediatric-typst
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Render a report

```bash theme={null}
quarto render template.qmd --to neurotyp-pediatric-typst
```

To preview the report in a browser-based viewer while you edit:

```bash theme={null}
quarto preview template.qmd
```

To update the extension after a new release:

```bash theme={null}
quarto update extension brainworkup/neurotyp-pediatric
```

## Configure the report

Open `template.qmd` and fill in the patient's metadata in the YAML front matter block.

```yaml theme={null}
---
title: NEUROCOGNITIVE EXAMINATION
patient: Doe
name: Doe, Jane
dob: "2012-06-20"
age: 12
doe: "2025-03-10"
doe2: "2025-03-11"
date_of_report: last-modified
case_number: "2025-042"
format: neurotyp-pediatric-typst
---
```

See [Front matter reference](/templates/front-matter) for a description of every field.

## Pediatric-specific formatting

The `neurotyp-pediatric` extension differs from the adult format in the following ways:

* **Heading treatment** — section headings use a slightly adjusted weight and spacing suited to developmental evaluation report conventions.
* **Section ordering** — cognitive domain sections are ordered to reflect the sequence commonly used in pediatric batteries (attention and working memory precede executive function and processing speed).
* **Label language** — section labels use developmentally appropriate terminology (for example, "Learning and Memory" rather than "Memory and New Learning").

<Note>
  The Typst source files for pediatric formatting live in
  `_extensions/neurotyp-pediatric/typst-template.typ` and
  `_extensions/neurotyp-pediatric/typst-show.typ`. See [Typst layout and
  typography reference](/templates/typst-formatting) before modifying these
  files directly.
</Note>

## Add cognitive domain sections

The master `template.qmd` uses Quarto `include` shortcodes to pull in domain-specific partial files. Edit `_domains_to_include.qmd` to select the sections relevant to this patient.

```markdown theme={null}
{{< include _neurocognitive.qmd >}}
{{< include _attention.qmd >}}
{{< include _memory.qmd >}}
{{< include _executive_function.qmd >}}
```
