Psychological & Neuropsychological Evaluations
Comprehensive psychological evaluations may examine intelligence, social emotional functioning, and behavioral patterns to clarify a diagnosis or help inform treatment planning. Psychological evaluations can also be performed for medical clearance or other proceedings.
Neuropsychological evaluations are conducted to help people better understand how they learn and think. They can be used to rule in and out certain conditions like ADHD, learning disorders, executive functioning problems, and psychological and behavioral challenges associated with medical conditions and other disabilities.
