Types of Assessment
Neuropsychological Evaluation (Standard)
Comprehensive assessment of brain functioning to assess known brain illness or injury, or suspected conditions (e.g. dementia), for the purposes of diagnosis, establishment of a sensitive cognitive baseline, and tailored recommendations to meet specific needs. Standard evaluations include a review of medical records, in-depth clinical interviewing and history-taking, formal assessment (i.e. testing of cognitive functioning and behavioral variables), subsequent follow-up session to review findings in detail, and additional optional services (e.g. optional follow-up visits in the months following the evaluation to discuss any additional concerns.
Comprehensive assessment tailored to those 65 and older, to address known brain illness or injury, or suspected conditions (e.g. dementia), for the purposes of diagnosis, establishment of a sensitive cognitive baseline, and tailored recommendations to meet specific needs. The process of very similar to the Standard Neuropsychological Evaluation (e.g. includes review of medical records, in-depth clinical interviewing and history-taking, formal assessment, and subsequent follow-up sessions to review the findings in detail, with additional optional follow-up visits), although with specific focus on the unique needs of those 65 and older, and with a more economical cost.
Neuropsychological Evaluation (65 and over)
In-depth clinical interview and review of relevant medical records, for the purposes of gathering relevant information to address concerns related to brain conditions, including illness or injury. This is essentially the first step of a Neuropsychological Evaluation.
