What is a Neuropsychological Evaluation?

A neuropsychological evaluation is a specialized type of psychological assessment.

The goal is to get an in-depth ‘snapshot’ of an individual’s functioning.

This can be helpful in a number of different situations:

  • Maybe a therapist tells you that your presentation is very complex and a formal assessment of their attention or learning would help to guide the therapy process.
  • Maybe your child has shown a significant change recently in how they are doing at school, at home, or with friends and the reason for the change is unclear.
  • Maybe the school has done an evaluation but hasn’t been able to get to the bottom of your child’s challenges.
  • Maybe you have a feeling that there is something going on but you just can’t put your finger on what is causing these difficulties.
