A neuropsychological assessment is a detailed evaluation of thinking skills such as memory, attention, problem-solving, and reasoning. It helps to identify strengths, difficulties, and the impact of medical, neurological, or mental health conditions on day-to-day functioning.

People seek assessments for many reasons, including suspected ADHD or autism, learning difficulties, changes in memory or thinking, brain injury, neurological illness, or to understand how mental health is affecting cognition.

The Assessment Process

Our comprehensive assessment can take place in-person or via Telehealth, and will take approximately 3-4 hours, including breaks. If we can complete the assessment in one day we will do so. However, it may be necessary to book more than one session, and we will discuss this with you.

The process usually includes:

1. An initial interview about your history and current concerns
2. Standardised testing of cognitive functions (e.g. memory, attention, problem-solving, executive functioning)
3. Consideration of medical, developmental, social, and psychological factors
4. Gathering corroborative (collateral) information from someone who knows you well (e.g. a parent, partner, or close friend) to provide additional context and strengthen the accuracy of the findings
5. A feedback session with a detailed report and tailored recommendations
