Neuropsychological Assessment

​

I offer neuropsychological assessments to adults and older adults with known or suspected neurological condition or injury. In triaging referrals, I give priority to clients who are older adults and are at risk of or with dementia, and to clients interested in a personalised intervention/treatment program.

​

Typically, the assessment process will involve:

​

• An intake interview with you and possibly a family member

• Review of background medical records as appropriate

• The administration of several tests of cognitive ability (e.g., memory, concentration)

• The administration of several questionnaires to evaluate your personal and medical history, mood, wellbeing, independence, and other relevant issues

• Scoring of your test results and comparison with the relevant population

• Face to face feedback regarding the findings of the assessment and my interpretation

• Preparation of a report

An assessment may be conducted in one session, but more often it will be completed over 2-3 sessions. The whole process, from initial contact to the delivery of a report will typically take 4-6 weeks.

​

Once you book for an assessment, you will be sent a letter with relevant information about the process, a consent form to sign and relevant questionnaires to complete in advance.

​

More information about the work of neuropsychologists, and the cognitive/neuropsychological assessment process can be found on the APS college of neuropsychologists website.
