Neuropsychological Assessment

We provide comprehensive neuropsychological assessments for children and adults to help clarify cognitive, behavioural, and psychological difficulties. Our assessments are designed to assist with diagnosis, identify strengths and weaknesses, and inform practical treatment and support recommendations.

What is a neuropsychological assessment?

At The Cognitive Health Clinic, this service involves a comprehensive evaluation of cognitive, behavioural, and psychological symptoms aimed to help determine the presence of brain injury, assist with diagnosis, and inform treatment.
