Neuropsychological Evaluations

What is a Neuropsychological Evaluation?

A structured way to see how you think, remember, solve problems, manage emotions, and pay attention—no pass/fail, no tricks. We find strengths, spot needs, and turn insights into a plan.

For Children

For younger kids, the evaluation feels a bit like a mix of schoolwork and games. They might do puzzles, look at pictures, answer questions, or play memory games. Breaks are built in, and parents are often part of the process. The goal is to understand how the child learns and how we can help them feel confident at school and at home.

Types of Evaluations:

  • Comprehensive
  • Neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, etc)
  • Behavioral Difficulties & Changes
  • Learning Difficulties & Academic/Testing Accommodations
  • Psychological & Psychodiagnostic

For Teens

For teenagers, it’s a chance to better understand how their brain works during a time when school, friends, and future plans can feel overwhelming. The evaluation can include reading, writing, problem-solving activities, and attention or memory tasks. We also talk about mood, stress, and coping. The goal is to give the teen — and their family — practical tools for school success, emotional wellbeing, and daily life.

Types of Evaluations:

  • Comprehensive
  • Neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, etc)
  • Behavioral Difficulties & Changes
  • Learning Difficulties & Academic/Testing Accommodations
  • Psychological & Psychodiagnostic

For Young Adults

For college students or young adults, the process can help answer questions about learning styles, concentration, or emotional health, especially during transitions to college or work. We explore thinking skills, memory, organization, and problem-solving, as well as stress management. Recommendations can include strategies for academics, job performance, and self-care.

Types of Evaluations:

  • Comprehensive
  • Neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, etc)
  • Behavioral Difficulties & Changes
  • Learning Difficulties & Academic/Testing Accommodations
  • Psychological & Psychodiagnostic

For Adults

For adults, the evaluation often helps make sense of challenges with memory, focus, organization, or mood that may be affecting work, relationships, or daily life. We look at thinking skills, attention, and emotional health, while also considering stress, sleep, and medical factors. The goal is to provide clarity — whether the concern is related to ADHD, a mood disorder, the effects of a medical condition, or everyday stressors — and to create tailored recommendations that support productivity, wellbeing, and quality of life.

Types of Evaluations:

  • Comprehensive
  • Neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, etc)
  • Workplace Accomodations
  • Psychological & Psychodiagnostic
  • Presurgical evaluations (e.g, bariatric, pain pump, transplants, etc)

For Older Adults

For older adults, the evaluation focuses on understanding changes in memory, thinking, or daily functioning. This may involve problem-solving activities, memory tasks, and conversations about mood and health. The goal is to identify what’s part of normal aging versus what may need further support, and to offer strategies to stay independent, active, and engaged.

Types of Evaluations:

  • Comprehensive
  • Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment
  • Brain Health Optimization

What to Expect After Your Evalulation

When your neuropsychological evaluation is complete, you’ll receive two important things: a written neuropsychological report — your detailed analysis of cognitive functioning and tailored recommendations/next steps, and a feedback session — a one-on-one meeting to go over everything in detail. Both are designed to give you clear answers, practical tools, and a plan you can actually use.

  • The Neuropsychological Report

    This is a personalized document — not just a bunch of test scores — that explains how your brain is working in everyday life. We make sure it’s clear, easy to follow, and focused on your goals.

    Your report will include:

    • A Summary of Findings — a plain-language explanation of what we learned from the evaluation.
    • Strengths and Areas for Growth — where your brain is working well, and where extra support might help.
    • Personalized Recommendations and Next Steps — tailored to you, which may include:
      • Academic Accommodations
      • Referrals
      • Strategies to Improve Memory or Attention
      • Strategies to Support Mood and Emotional Health
      • Sleep Improvement Methods
      • Lifestyle or Routine Adjustments
      • Community Resources

    The goal is for you (and your family, if you choose) to walk away with a clear plan of action — not just an explanation of the results.

  • The Feedback Session

    After you’ve received your report, we meet for a feedback session — usually one hour — to go over it together. This is a conversation, not a lecture. We want you to feel comfortable asking questions and making sure everything makes sense.

    In the feedback session, we will:

    • Explain your results in plain language — no medical jargon.
    • Review each recommendation and why it’s important — so you know exactly how it will help.
    • Discuss practical steps for putting the plan into action — including how to access accommodations, make appointments, or use strategies at home, work, or school.
    • Answer any questions — whether they’re about the testing, your results, or what happens next.
    • Provide additional resources — handouts, websites, apps, or tools tailored to your needs.

    By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of your brain profile, the reasons behind our recommendations, and a step-by-step path forward.
