NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS
A neuropsychological assessment can help clarify why someone is experiencing difficulties with their thinking. An assessment outlines strengths and weaknesses in thinking style and can also clarify diagnoses and guide treatment planning. Length of assessment varies based on your concerns and the package you select. Typically, for every hour we spend together, the same amount of time is spent scoring information, gathering information from others, and conceptualizing the information received.
WHO THIS IS FOR
- Individuals seeking answers to questions relating to problems with learning or attentional difficulties (such as dyslexia or ADHD)
- Individuals who want to better understand the consequences of a neurological disorder such as a traumatic brain injury or concussion, stroke, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, epilepsy, brain tumors, progressive memory loss (dementia), or chronic and/or coexisting medical or psychiatric conditions.
