Purpose of neuropsychological assessment

 The major purposes of a neuropsychology assessment are to assist with questions about: 

Integrity of cognitive functions

The evaluation is helpful to determine the presence, nature, and severity of cognitive dysfunction. We provide a baseline to monitor future changes in cognitive abilities, mood and personality, including treatment effects.

Differential diagnosis – to confirm or clarify a diagnosis

Regarding differential diagnosis, we help evaluate neurological and psychiatric disorders. One unique contribution of the neuropsychological assessment is the detection and evaluation of cerebral dysfunction in the absence of clear anatomical evidence of alterations.

We also identify psychological factors such as depression that contribute to cognitive dysfunction.

Treatment planning

We provide treatment recommendations for cognitive disorders and psychological adjustment, including a profile of strengths and weaknesses to guide rehabilitation, educational, vocational, or other services.

We also determine levels of cognitive functioning as they relate to work, school, and independent living.
