Neuropsychological Assessment
Do you experience cognitive, emotional, and/or behavioral difficulties?
Do you have problems with memory, attention, or concentration?
Through Neuropsychological Assessment, it is possible to identify not only compromised cognitive functions but also preserved cognitive functions (such as attention, memory, language, executive functions, and reasoning), and consequently, the degree of impairment in these functions.
What is the purpose of Neuropsychological Assessment?
1. To identify in a detailed and thorough manner the compromised abilities of an individual in terms of cognitive, emotional, and/or behavioral changes in cases of:
- Non-degenerative pathologies (such as Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury);
- Degenerative pathologies (such as Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease);
- Neurodevelopmental disorders (such as Autism Spectrum Disorders, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), among others;
2. Differential diagnosis (for example, categorizing subtypes of dementia or differentiating neurological symptoms from psychiatric symptoms);
3. Monitoring pharmacological and/or neuropsychological rehabilitation treatments;
4. Development of neuropsychological rehabilitation programs, identifying limitations and individual resources, and outlining intervention strategies.
