A complete assessment of cognitive, emotional and behavioral functioning to better understand how the brain is working and guide diagnosis, treatment, or educational planning.
Neuropsychological testing provides a thorough evaluation of cognitive skills and their connection to the brain. Clinical neuropsychologists Dr. Erica Shreck and Dr. Penny Petchers use standardized tests to assess areas like attention, memory, language, executive functions (planning, problem-solving), visual-spatial abilities, motor skills, processing speed, and social cognition. The process involves an interview and several hours of testing, followed by a detailed report with findings and recommendations. This testing helps understand cognitive issues related to conditions such as brain injuries, stroke, dementia, learning disabilities, and neurological disorders, aiding in diagnosis, treatment, and educational planning.
