What is a neuropsychological assessment?

A neuropsychological assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of how a person’s brain functions in areas such as memory, attention, language, and problem-solving. It uses standardized tests and clinical observations to identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses, often following injury, illness, or developmental concerns. The results help guide diagnosis, treatment planning, and recommendations for support in daily life, school, or work.

Areas of Practice for Assessments

  • Adult ADHD

    Adult ADHD assessment involves a comprehensive evaluation of attention, executive functioning, and everyday functioning to determine whether Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is present and to guide individualized treatment and support recommendations.

  • Developmental & Learning Disorders

    Assessment for dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and giftedness involves a comprehensive evaluation of academic skills, cognitive processing, and learning profiles to identify specific strengths and challenges and guide tailored educational recommendations and supports.

  • Brain Injury & Neurological Conditions

    Assessment of neurological conditions involves a comprehensive evaluation of cognitive, emotional, and functional changes associated with conditions such as Traumatic Brain Injury, concussion, stroke, epilepsy, brain tumors, and neurodevelopmental syndromes to support diagnosis, treatment planning, and rehabilitation.

  • Neuro-Degenerative Disorders

    Assessment of neurodegenerative conditions involves a comprehensive evaluation of cognitive and functional changes associated with dementia, such as Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and Frontotemporal Dementia to clarify diagnosis, differentiate dementia subtypes, and guide care planning and treatment.

  • Mental Health & Emotional Functioning

    Assessment of mental health and emotional functioning involves a comprehensive evaluation of mood, anxiety, trauma-related, and personality factors, such as Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and somatic symptom conditions, to clarify diagnosis and inform treatment planning.

  • Intellectual Functioning

    Assessment of cognitive functioning involves a comprehensive evaluation of intellectual ability, executive functioning, attention, processing speed, memory, language, and visuospatial skills to understand an individual’s cognitive profile and inform diagnosis, planning, and support.

Why might I be referred?

If you or someone close to you have a condition affecting thinking or cognitive abilities, an assessment can help clarify what’s happening and identify appropriate supports. Common reasons for referral include:

Adult ADHD

 

This type of assessment helps to identify Adult ADHD through investigating patterns of inattention, impulsivity, and executive functioning challenges that may impact daily life, school, or work performance.

Brain Injury &
Concussion Recovery

Assessment and support for cognitive recovery following concussion, traumatic brain injury, or other acquired brain injuries. The goal is to track recovery, identify lingering cognitive effects, and guide recommendations for safe return to normal activities.

Memory & Cognitive Aging

Stroke & Neurological Conditions

Movement Disorders & Parkinson’s Disease

Return-to-Work or
School Readiness

Learning or Academic Difficulties

Assessment for age-related memory changes, including concerns about dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. These evaluations help distinguish between normal aging and more serious cognitive decline, supporting early detection and care planning.

Cognitive evaluations related to stroke, brain tumors, Multiple Sclerosis, and other neurological disorders. These assessments identify strengths and challenges to inform treatment planning and improve quality of life.


Assessment of cognitive changes associated with Parkinson’s Disease and other movement-related conditions. Evaluations focus on areas such as memory, attention, and executive functioning to support ongoing care and management.

Evaluations to determine readiness for returning to work or academic settings after cognitive, neurological, psychological and/or adjustment-related challenges. Recommendations are tailored to support a safe and successful transition back to daily responsibilities.

Comprehensive assessment of learning challenges, including suspected learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and written expression difficulties. These evaluations identify cognitive and academic strengths and weaknesses to support diagnosis, school accommodations, and individualized learning plans.

What happens in an assessment?

  • Record Review


    Your medical and background history is carefully reviewed prior to your appointment. You may be asked to provide past medical records and/or school report cards.

  • Clinical Interview (1-2 hours)


    We meet to discuss your concerns, symptoms, and relevant personal and medical history.

  • Cognitive Testing (6-7 hours)


    You complete a series of standardized measures assessing your cognitive abilities, including your memory, attention, problem-solving, language, and processing speed skills. You also complete questionnaires related to your mental health.

  • Analysis & Report Preparation


    Your results are interpreted in comparison to individuals with similar demographics. We may also gather input from a partner, family member, or close friend. A comprehensive assessment report is prepared including the results, conclusions and recommendations.
