Neuropsychological Assessment & Intervention
Neuropsychologists have expertise in the relationship between brain and behaviour, and the impact of neurological injury on the cognitive, emotional and behavioural function of the person.
Our clinical neuropsychologist’s see adolescents, adults and older persons who may be experiencing difficulties with cognition (thinking), behaviour and emotion.
We have specialist skills in the diagnosis of dementia and neurodegenerative conditions, as well as providing decision-making capacity assessments.
We also see individuals who have experienced neurological insult such as traumatic brain injury and acquired brain injury (e.g. stroke, tumours, hypoxic injury), and provide diagnostic opinion and recommendations about care management.
The provision of assessment and recommendations for specific rehabilitation purposes are central to the service.
Commonly, clients with mental health issues and/or disability may be referred for an assessment to characterise their cognitive function for the purpose of NDIS goals, or to provide specific recommendations for their care.
What does a Neuropsychological assessment involve?
An assessment typically involves both thorough clinical history taking and formal cognitive testing (predominantly using paper and pencil tasks).
Feedback is later provided to the patient and their family. A comprehensive report is additionally compiled with detailed recommendations regarding ongoing care management.
