Problems with language, memory, and other abilities can cause difficultly in work, home or social environments. A neuropsychologist has specialized training in evaluating changes that may be symptoms of neurological illness. Understanding these changes can be important in reaching an accurate diagnosis and making decisions about treatment.
A variety of tests are used to determine intellectual problems. These may include specialized measures of attention, memory, language, problem solving, and other cognitive skills.
Based on the test results, the neuropsychologist provides a report to your doctor and makes recommendations for treatment and rehabilitation. Discussing the evaluation with your doctor or other clinic staff can help you understand the condition, and can help you develop effective ways to cope with the symptoms.
Each of our neuropsychologists hold either a PhD or PsyD in clinical psychology with advanced training in clinical neuropsychology; one has furthermore been Board Certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology. Our psychology technicians are specially trained to administer neuropsychological tests.
