Neuropsychological Assessment
Commonwealth Psychology Associates provides comprehensive neuropsychological assessment services for children, adults, and geriatric clients. Our neuropsychological testing and evaluation services allow us to determine how and individual’s brain is functioning and how brain-related issues might be impacting cognitive functioning.
Neuropsychological evaluations utilize paper-and-pencil or computerized types of tests (no needles or wires!) that measure cognitive abilities such as:
|
• |
Learning and memory |
|
• |
Attention and
concentration |
|
• |
Information processing
speed |
|
• |
Language and
communication |
|

Visual perception |
Neuropsychological testing typically is requested when there are questions about specific conditions that can impact cognitive functioning, such as:
Based on a neuropsychological evaluation and other clinical information, our neuropscyhologists identify a client’s cognitive strengths, learning style, and potential areas of cognitive weakness. We also recommend interventions including individualized strategies for overcoming difficulties and make referrals for other services such as psychotherapy or psychopharmacological treatment, if needed.
Our neuropsychologists have several years of experience providing neuropsychological testing services for children, adults, and geriatric clients experiencing cognitive problems.
