A neuropsychological assessment considers all aspects of the brain’s functioning which can become impaired due to illness, injury or insult (physical assault). Comprehensive neuropsychological assessments are provided.
Our Role: What we can help you with
• Investigating how neurological conditions or injuries to the brain impact cognition, mood, behaviour and personality and determine the implications for every-day life/work/relationships
• Assessment for progressive deterioration of cognitive function
• Contribute to diagnosis, investigating fall-out after insult and recommendations
• Pre- and post- neurosurgery/neurological intervention assessments to track progress/change
• Work-capacity and medico-legal assessments
• Psychotherapy for individuals and families dealing with neurological conditions
