What is Neuropsychological Testing?

​
A series of cognitive tests (some administered on paper and some computer) that examine cognitive functioning (memory, executive functioning, processing speed, intellectual functioning, and behavioral/emotional functioning).

**All testing in our practice is completed exclusively by our doctoral-level, licensed psychologists. Neuropsychologists require an extra, 2-year post-doctoral training beyond their 1-year residency and 4-6 years of doctoral work.

Clinical Concerns we address with Neuropsychological Testing:

• ADHD (Hyperactive-Impulsive Type, Inattentive Type, or Combined Type) 
• Learning disability testing (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, visual processing difficulties, auditory/phonological processing difficulties).
• Autistic spectrum testing (ASD)
• ADHD testing
• Evaluation of gifted individuals with learning difficulties (twice exceptional or ‘2e’)
• Intellectual Disability Testing (therapy also available)
• Medical conditions (e.g., genetic/chromosomal disorders, pediatric stroke, birthing injuries, etc.)
• Testing for anxiety and depression or mood regulation disorders
• Post-concussion and post Traumatic Brain Injury

What does the Neuropsychological Testing Process Involve?

1. A Clinical Interview with our patient (and caregiver) (1-2 hours)
2. Testing with our patient (2-5 hours)
3. Analysis of Data from testing and Report Writing by the Neuropsychologist (7-10 hours on their own)
4. Review of written report and recommendations/accommodations with the patient and caregiver (1-2 hours)

Most importantly, psychological testing data are used to create an evidence-based action plan and recommendations. We will work with you and your school to best ensure our recommendations can be accommodated (sometimes in the form of a 504, IEP, or equivalent formal documentation).
