Neuropsychological Testing in Arlington Heights, Illinois
At NeuroHealth Arlington Heights, we offer pediatric and adult neuropsychological testing. This type of assessment measures skills and abilities linked to specific brain functions attributed to the age group. During the neuropsychological testing process, our specialists assess functions such as memory, attention, problem-solving, visual-spatial skills, communication, and social skills.

Having neuropsychological testing can help the individual develop their full potential, academically, emotionally, and socially.
