Diagnosis and Treatment
Neuropsychological evaluation involves administration of a broad range of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional tests to help diagnose and treat a variety of neurological or neuropsychiatric conditions. Testing can contribute helpful information about a person?s cognitive function, such as how a person thinks, remembers information, or carries out daily tasks, all of which can inform diagnosis and help with treatment planning.
These evaluations are useful to:
- Aid in diagnosis or rule out certain conditions
- Help determine if certain medications or medical treatments are needed
- Track progress before and after interventions
- Plan educational or vocational programs
- Determine a disability
- Provide a baseline for later comparison in progressive disorders
- Aid in treatment and family planning for patients with neurodegenerative disorders
Through the use of neuropsychological testing, our specialists examine how a patient?s neurological condition affects factors such as:
- Executive functioning
- Processing speed
- Attention
- Intellectual abilities
- Language
- Learning
- Memory
- Visuospatial abilities
- Motor skills
- Personality
- Functional abilities
- Employability
Our experienced neuropsychologists will help develop a treatment plan which may include medication, rehabilitation therapy, or surgery.
In some cases, the neuropsychologist also helps to provide individual counseling for the patient?s emotional needs and adjustment to his or her disability and will also work with community agencies, schools, and employers to fully support you.
