Assessment and Treatment Services

The services available include assessment of higher cortical functions of the brain, including attention, memory, language, problem solving, perceptual and motor abilities. Evaluation results are analyzed to see if particular neurological or psychiatric conditions are present. The information and conclusions, presented in a comprehensive report and sent to the referring professional, are then used for diagnosis, prognosis, rehabilitation intervention and to help both patient and family with emotional and behavioral adjustments. Helping the patient and family members understand the nature of the deficits and establish reasonable expectations for the future is an important aspect of the services provided.
