A neuropsychological assessment evaluates multiple brain functions (ex: memory, attention, problem-solving, spatial skills, motor functions) to create an overall summary of brain strengths and weaknesses.  This information is used to diagnose conditions and is helpful often in treatment planning.

Neuropsychological assessment is often requested when there is a question as to whether the individual has the following conditions:

- Learning disablities;

- Dementia--such as Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia 

- Normal aging, or Mild Cogniitve Impairment (MCI);

- Strokes

 -Epilepsy--especially prior to brain surgery

- Parkinson's Disease

- Traumatic Brain Injury

- Depression or anxiety that interferes with cognitive functioning
