Neuropsychology
Our neuropsychology specialists, also known as neuropsychologists, evaluate behavioral changes and cognitive functioning (attention, language, memory, etc.) that occur in people with brain diseases, neurological disorders, or brain injury. They also assess neurodevelopmental disorders, such as learning or processing problems, behavioral disorders and pervasive developmental disorders. This can be especially important after a stroke, head trauma, neurosurgery, or in any case where changes in brain functioning may be seen due to medical factors.
