Neuropsychological Assessment can help identify the severity of any cognitive problems associated with any of the disease processes listed above. Neuropsychological assessment can also be used to 1) assist with diagnostic clarification; 2) identify residual or relative strengths that can be used to compensate for identified weaknesses; 3) identify intervention strategies or accommodations to minimize the effects of cognitive problems and maximize daily functioning; 4) monitor treatment (or disease) progress; 5) predict functional potential (such as ability to return to work or school, or manage finances independently) or functional recovery.

Psychological Assessment can be useful for diagnostic clarification of emotional difficulties to better inform treatment options. This process can also be used to monitor treatment outcome or help a treatment provider gain insight into root causes of a person’s emotional or behavioral problems

Support is provided through individual and group sessions.
