Areas of Practice
AGING / Dementia
Changes in some aspects of cognition are considered to be a normal part of healthy aging.
Neuropsychological assessment can help clarify if cognitive changes, such as problems with memory or attention, are consistent with the normal aging process. An evaluation can help determine the presence of a cognitive impairment or dementia process.
ADHD and learning disorders
Educational, occupational, and everyday functioning are influenced by multiple factors, including attentional issues and specific learning disorders.
A neuropsychological evaluation can help identify these factors and provide a treatment plan for managing issues and improving functioning. Our findings can be used to assist providers who may be prescribing medications.
NEURODEGENeraTIVE DISORDERS
Changes in cognition can be symptomatic of a neurodegenerative disease process.
A neuropsychological assessment can help patients and providers identify underlying causes of cognitive or behavioral changes, including neurologic conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, cerebrovascular disease, Lewy Bodies Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson’s Disease.
MEdICAL ILLNESS and conditions
Many medical illnesses and conditions impact cognitive functioning, including pain, sleep, substance use, cancer, autoimmune disorders, and endocrine dysfunction.
A neuropsychological assessment can help determine underlying causes of changes in thinking and behavior and help with treatment planning.
EPILEPSY
Seizure disorders often cause changes in thinking, including problems with memory and aspects of language.
A neuropsychological assessment can provide a cognitive profile for individuals with epilepsy (e.g., strengths and weaknesses), as well as determine a pre-surgical baseline and aid in post-surgical tracking of cognitive function.
Traumatic Brain injury and CONCUSSION
Individuals typically experience changes in cognition and behavior following traumatic brain injury, stroke, and concussion.
A neuropsychological assessment can help identify strengths and weaknesses, areas of change, as well as track recovery.
