Neuropsychological Assessments
Neuropsychological assessments involve testing that is sensitive to problems in brain functioning. Unlike CT or MRI scans, which show what the brain looks like, neuropsychological assessments take the brain on a “test drive.” The types of tests included in your evaluation will depend on what you and your doctor want to know about your brain functioning.
IME / Workers' Compensation Evaluations
Independent Medical Evaluations (IME), often requested by attorneys, involve testing and gathering information to evaluate the cause and impact of an injury or neurological and/or psychiatric condition on different aspects of an individual's cognitive functioning. The types of tests included in an IME will depend on the type of injury and symptoms.
Psychoeducational Assessments
Psychoeducational assessments analyze reasoning and problem-solving skills, attention span, working memory, language, spatial abilities, memory, visual-motor integration, and a broad range of executive functions, including planning, organization, and impulse control. Psychoeducational assessments will also gauge performance in individual academic areas, such as reading, writing, and mathematics.
