Benefits
Neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of cognitive functions such as learning and memory or problem solving. Standard testing procedures are used to assess the various abilities that relate to learning and using knowledge and skills. It is useful because it allows clinicians to detect the presence of cognitive impairment, provide data for a differential diagnosis, and can help explain functional impacts of brain dysfunction on every-day life. The following areas are included:
- Intelligence / Cognitive Skills
- Attention / Concentration
- Language Skills
- Motor Skills
- Planning, Organization, and Judgment
- Academic Achievement
- Learning and Memory
- Perceptual / Spatial Skills
- Problem Solving and Critical Thinking
Neuropsychological Testing can also be used to clarify diagnoses, determine accommodations for schools or state wide tests (SAT, PSAT), and help understand the impact of mood on cognition.
