Neuropsychological testing

Neuropsychological tests are designed to examine a variety of cognitive abilities, including speed of information processing, attention, memory, language, and executive functions, which are necessary for goal-directed behavior.

By testing a range of cognitive abilities and examining patterns of performance in different cognitive areas, neuropsychologists can make inferences about underlying brain function. 

Neuropsychological testing is an important component of the assessment and treatment of traumatic brain injury, dementia, neurological conditions, and psychiatric disorders. 

Neuropsychological testing is an essential tool for examining the effects of toxic substances and medical conditions on brain functioning. 

Psychological Testing

Psychological evaluations are a process of determining the core components of a person’s psychological or mental health problems, personality, intelligence, learning or language difficulties, or other developmental delays.

These evaluations measure and observe an individual's behavior to arrive at a diagnosis and provide a road map to guide treatment. The tests provide the foundation of how psychologists better understand a person and their behavior.

Psychological assessments help identify not just weaknesses of a person, but also their strengths.  Psychological testing can provide clarity and understanding to individuals and their practitioners and empower that person to initiate change.
