Seeking patient care?
The Neuropsychology Clinical Service provides comprehensive assessment of cognitive and emotional functioning using standardized tests. The evaluation includes assessment of intellectual abilities, language, attention, memory, judgment and reasoning, visuospatial/constructive skills, executive functions and motor abilities, as well as mood and personality. Inpatient evaluations can also be arranged. Screening, intermediate and extensive testing batteries are available depending on the referral question.
The Neuropsychology Clinical Service offers evaluations which can be useful in differential diagnosis, establishing baseline level of cognitive functioning, patient care management and treatment planning. The results can provide objective information relating to an individual’s potential for rehabilitation, return to work or ability to function independently.
Referrals for clinical neuropsychological evaluation may be arranged by physicians, other health care professionals, the prospective patient or family members. Our network of referral services includes neurology, psychiatry, social work services, cognitive rehabilitation and occupational therapy.
