Services
Neuropsychological Evaluations
Neuropsychological evaluations analyze brain-behavior relationships through standardized testing. These assessments measure memory, attention, language, and executive functioning to diagnose neurological conditions. Patients receive personalized reports with treatment recommendations for conditions like traumatic brain injuries, epilepsy, or stroke recovery.
Memory & Dementia Evaluations
Memory evaluations identify causes of cognitive decline, distinguishing normal aging from treatable conditions or neurodegenerative diseases. Testing assesses intellect, language, and mood to guide interventions for Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, or other memory disorders affecting daily functioning.
Learning Disorders Testing
Learning disorder evaluations diagnose dyslexia, dyscalculia, and other neurodevelopmental conditions through cognitive and academic achievement testing. Results inform individualized education plans (IEPs) and accommodations for students from elementary school through college.
ADD/ADHD Evaluations
ADHD evaluations combine clinical interviews and neuropsychological testing to confirm diagnoses. We differentiate ADHD from similar conditions and provide treatment plans involving medication management, behavioral therapy, and academic/workplace accommodations.
Psychological Evaluations
Psychological evaluations assess emotional and behavioral health for pre-surgical clearance or treatment planning. These assessments evaluate coping skills, mood disorders, and stress factors to guide therapy, medication, or rehabilitation strategies.
