Neuropsychological assessment is a testing method through which our evaluators gain insight about a patient’s cognitive, motor, behavioral, linguistic, and executive functioning. Unlike other testing methods, neurological assessment provides conclusive insight into the psychological functioning of an individual. The most beneficial factor of neuropsychological assessment is that it provides an accurate diagnosis of the disorder for the patient. The data can also guide effective treatment methods for the rehabilitation of patients.

Family law assessment is useful for legal cases regarding custody, permanency, reunification and adoption. Assessments are also used to evaluate parenting skills, which helps identify parental strengths and advocate methods needed to enhance parenting ability. In addition to conducting interviews with parents and children, our evaluators review relevant records to get a holistic idea of the circumstances. Upon the completion of interviews and record analysis, psychological testing is used to further assess the patient. We use specialized tests to assure accurate results for our patients. The test that will be utilized is decided upon the first meeting between the patient and evaluator.

Cognitive assessment is useful to determine someone’s level of cognitive function, which includes attention, memory, language, learning, reasoning, problem solving, and decision-making. In this type of assessment, our patient will be asked to complete a series of tasks that require cognitive skills. Cognition plays a major role everyday life, impacting important skills such as job performance, organization, emotional control, learning and memory, and basic motor skills. Because cognitive skills are necessary to carry out daily tasks, identifying cognitive problems can pave the way to the overall success and satisfaction of our patients.

Individuals who have sustained a brain injury or stroke may find this assessment particularly useful, as well as parents who are concerned about their child’s academic performance.
