Neuropsychological Assessments
Plot a course for recovery by understanding current cognitive, neurocognitive, and executive functioning.
If you have experienced a concussion, head trauma, or brain injury, a neuropsychological assessment could be an essential step in your recovery plan. This testing provides answers about your strengths and weaknesses, for example, providing clarity on whether you can safely live independently, return to work or school, drive, or manage a household.
What is a Neuropsychological Assessment?
Neuropsychological assessment evaluates functioning based on an individual’s performance on objective, specialized tests. Different measures are used to evaluate specific functions (e.g., processing speed, problem solving, and working memory). The results of these tests are interpreted to determine strengths, weaknesses, and possible brain-related conditions and neurological disorders. Neuropsychological assessment can help individuals better understand their current functioning and plan a course to their recovery.
What kind of testing is part of a Neuropsychological Assessment?
A full neuropsychological assessment typically consists of a combination of tests of mental capacity, including:
Intelligence
Attention, memory, and learning
Executive function (e.g., planning, organization, and decision-making)
Problem solving
Perceptual and motor skills
Academic skills
Language skills
Personality, emotional status, and behavior
What kind of report can I expect?
A neuropsychological assessment report is a comprehensive document that includes detailed results and a summary of each test, as well as a synthesis of the testing that provides a picture of neurological functioning and diagnoses. All of our reports also provide tailored recommendations based on individualized testing results. Our team will communicate with you and your doctor to discuss results, answer questions, and review recommendations for improving cognitive functioning, emotional well-being, and recovery.
