Neuropsychology

Treating illnesses and injuries that disrupt normal brain function

Our neuropsychology team is trained in clinical psychology, with additional training to understand the relationship between the brain and behaviors or functions of the brain. These functions include attention, memory, language, and problem-solving skills.

We specialize in issues related to learning, behavioral and social problems for adults and children. Our patients often report:

• Difficulties at work or school
• Memory loss
• Inattention
• Social weakness

These challenges may be the result of:

• Aging issues
• Autism spectrum disorder
• Concussion
• Developmental disability
• Genetic disorder
• Head injury
• Psychiatric issues
• Stroke

How we evaluate neuropsychological conditions

• Our neuropsychology team can help assess:
• Dementia
• ADHD and learning disabilities
• Concussions
• Other changes in concentration, reasoning, memory and personality

The first step of a neuropsychological evaluation is an interview with the patient to discuss their history and symptoms.

Further testing may include intelligence tests, problem solving, memory, language, visual-spatial abilities, mental processing speed, attention, motor and sensory evaluations. Measures of mood and personality also may be included.
