Neuropsychological Assessment
A comprehensive neuropsychological assessment offers an in-depth understanding of how the brain influences thoughts, learning, emotions, and behavior. Through the use of empirically validated tests and measures, it provides a holistic, data-driven picture of one’s overall functioning. A comprehensive assessment will help identify the underlying causes of challenges at home, school, work, and/or relationships, clarify potential psychiatric and developmental diagnoses (e.g., autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, etc.), and guide evidence-based recommendations that promote growth, healing, and success.
At Mind Grove Psychology, each assessment is highly individualized and involves a thorough and compassionate process. Most assessments include tests that measure cognition (IQ test), academic achievement, learning, memory, personality, behaviors, emotional health, executive functioning, and developmental functioning. A neuropsychological assessment may be helpful in securing services or accommodations (e.g., extra time at school and on standardized tests), disability services, 504 plan, and IEP. It is also helpful to clarify whether specialized schools such as therapeutic, special education, gifted, or twice exceptional schools might be appropriate.
At the end of the process, clients receive an integrated report and a collaborative feedback session focused on translating insights into meaningful next steps and recommendations. When appropriate, participation in IEP meetings is also included.
