Neuropsychological testing involves a variety of measures designed to provide diagnostic clarification, which leads to effective treatment planning. Tests range from simple tasks, such as manipulating blocks to more complex tasks, such as answering questions amid distraction. Testing is different for each person and we custom-build each testing battery to suit the needs of each individual.
Neuropsychological testing allows for a greater understanding of brain-behavior relationships and provides information as to how neurological and/or psychological impairments have impacted an individual’s daily functioning. Testing identifies not only areas in need of improvement but also areas of strength, as understanding strengths is essential for increasing wellness.
