Have you noticed a change in your thinking skills, such as memory, language, attention, or problem solving? Do you have a family history of dementia or Alzheimer's disease? Do you have a friend or family member who is experiencing these issues? Neuropsychological assessment is a thorough evaluation of your brain and your thinking skills, which can be useful for diagnostic and treatment planning purposes. We offer brief and comprehensive assessments tailored to individual needs. Once a baseline, or benchmark, is established, serial monitoring can be implemented to follow an individual's cognitive abilities over time. Serial monitoring is the best way to determine the progression of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. It is ideal to establish a baseline prior to changes in thinking skills, especially for those who have a family history of dementia. Dementia and Alzheimer's disease affects over 30 million people worldwide. Come for an initial consultation to learn more about these diseases and how an assessment can deepen your understanding of your thinking skills and impact treatment planning.
