Neuropsychological Assessment
What is a Neuropsychological Assessment?
A neuropsychological assessment (sometimes called neuropsychological testing or a neuropsychological evaluation) is a detailed evaluation of how your brain is functioning. Unlike a general psychological assessment, a neuropsychological evaluation focuses on cognitive abilities such as memory, attention, reasoning, and problem-solving and how these impact your daily life.
At Sure Psychology, our clinical neuropsychologists tailor each assessment to your individual concerns, providing a clear picture of your cognitive strengths and weaknesses. This understanding assists with accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and improving your quality of life.
