Neuropsychological Evaluations

Educational Testing- Our psychologists can assess learning difficulties, cognitive abilities, and academic strengths and weaknesses. For students of all ages, these evaluations can support educational planning and identify learning disabilities. We can provide recommendations for testing accommodations and learning support to optimize your child’s academic performance and success.

  • A neuropsychological evaluation is a formal assessment of mood, personality, and cognitive abilities (e.g., memory, concentration, and problem-solving) that is conducted by a certified neuropsychologist.

    ​

    Research shows that many people with movement disorders, psychiatric disorders, or acquired brain injuries demonstrate changes in their mood, personality, and thinking skills (such as attention, memory, and planning). These changes may be subtle or dramatic and may reflect the underlying disease process or side effects from treatment.

    • Head Injury

    • Trauma

    • Gifted Testing

    • Learning Disabilities

    • High School & College Placement Evaluations

  • This type of evaluation determines if a person’s thinking skills, mood, and personality have been affected by a neurological disorder. A neuropsychological evaluation also does the following:
     

    • Establishes a baseline so that changes in thinking skills, mood, and personality can be monitored over time to provide better treatment

    • Helps the patient and family make decisions about work and other responsibilities

    • Educates family members about how the brain disorder has affected the patient’s thinking skills and personality so they can better help and understand

    • Provides information for a physician in order to help with medication selection to reduce side effects or improve cognition

  • All patients who are considering deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of movement and psychiatric disorders are required to complete a neuropsychological evaluation to help determine their candidacy for surgery. Research suggests that patients with significant cognitive difficulties may not be suitable candidates for DBS. A second evaluation is recommended six to twelve months after surgery
