Neuropsychological Evaluation
A detailed look at how your brain is working, from memory and attention to learning and problem-solving, so you leave with a clear answer and a plan. In person for ages 6 and up, or by telehealth for adults 18–64.
What is a neuropsychological evaluation?
Think of it as putting the pieces of a puzzle together. Your provider combines a clinical interview, a review of your medical and school records, and standardized tests, then interprets everything as a whole.
The results help answer questions like: are these changes coming from a neurological condition, from something like depression or anxiety, or from normal aging? From there we can make a diagnosis, recommend treatment, and support accommodations at school or work.
