Neuropsychological assessments

Our neuropsychological assessments are designed to help clarify how your brain is functioning and what your strengths and areas of difficulty might be. It has two parts: an interview to hear about your issues, concerns and background information, followed by testing of various types of thinking and brain functioning (called cognitive testing).

Psychological issues such as depression and anxiety can affect our brain’s performance, so you can expect to be asked some questions about your emotional wellbeing in the interview. After a face-to-face interview and testing, the clinician then scores and interprets the tests, and a report of the findings is usually written. A feedback session is then typically given to summarise the findings and provide recommendations.

Some of our assessment includes:

  • ACC neuropsychological assessments
  • Intellectual disability and neurodevelopmental assessments (IDDA)
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder assessment (ADHD)
