Assessment

Neuropsychological evaluations are often requested to help medical doctors and other professionals understand how the different systems of the brain are functioning. Comprehensive testing can help to identify or clarify various conditions which cause changes in cognition/memory, mood, or behavior.

The work of a clinical neuropsychologist is to understand you - and not just a condition or diagnosis. We work closely with your referring physician to assess the behavioral & psychological effects of psychological, medical or neurologic injury e.g., (concussion, stroke, traumatic brain injury), severe medical illness or other central nervous system (CNS) disorder.

A neuropsychologist collects information about the client/patient or person with a clinical history of the medical, surgical, neurological, developmental and psychosocial aspects which may play a parent in the current presenting difficulties. We use both standardized paper pencil tests and tech supported platforms to evaluate: Intellectual functioning, attention & concentration, visual-spatial abilities, verbal and visual memory, motor, sensory, expressive language, planning and organizing abilities as well as emotional and behavioral functioning. More specifically, neuropsychologists often provide neuropsychological evaluation of neurocognitive status due to concussion, mild traumatic brain injury, moderate to severe brain injury, work related injuries and dementias.

Our services are informed by extensive experience and professionalism for every patient we see. Although the evaluations are quite standard, the application of our services are sensitive to the uniqueness of each individuals’ needs and concerns.
