Neuropsychology Assessment
Neuropsychology is the science of brain-behaviour relationships. A clinical neuropsychologist assesses cognitive and behavioural outcomes of neurological injury or disease and provides rehabilitation to optimise functioning and improve mental health.
Clinical assessments
I offer screening and comprehensive neuropsychology assessments in adults and children with neurological disease, traumatic brain injury and cognitive difficulties.
Neuropsychology assessments help to:
- Determine the presence, nature and severity of dysfunction
- Provide a baseline profile of cognition to monitor change over time and in response to treatment
- Inform rehabilitation strategies to optimise functioning in work and learning environments
An assessment involves two primary elements, a clinical interview and a testing session. An assessment lasts between two and four hours. Ahead of an appointment you may be asked to provide medical reports. A comprehensive report of findings and recommendations will be shared with you.
