Neuropsychology
TAILORED ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT SERVICES FOR INJURY, AGING, AND SPORTS.
NEUROPSYCHOLOGY
Clinical Neuropsychology is a specialty field of psychology that assesses brain-related cognitive and emotional functioning after a brain injury or disease, such as dementia.
Neuropsychological Assessment generally includes a review of your medical, vocational, and school records, an interview with you and someone who knows you well, and administration of standardized tests and questionnaires that look into your cognitive skills, your mood, and personality. You will be provided with verbal feedback and a comprehensive report that summarizes your evaluation results, working diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. If you wish, your neuropsychologist will also offer to discuss the findings with your family and, or treating physicians.
At Integrated Neuro, we are dedicated to providing high quality and timely neuropsychological services that result in patient-focused assessment, treatment recommendations, and plans for future care.
When can a neuropsychological assessment be helpful?
When there is a concern about a decline in a person’s thinking skills, such as attention or memory, or a change in personality or mood due to a pre-existing or suspected brain injury or illness.
When there is a need to monitor recovery after a brain injury, or monitor the course and progression of an illness. When there is a concern that other contributing factors such as mood, sleep, or pain problems may be impacting a person’s cognitive or behavioural functioning.
Neuropsychological evaluation helps answer important questions like:
What is the person’s level of cognitive functioning or how well can they focus, learn and remember new information, or problem solve?
Does the person need specific accommodations at home, work, or school, or an individualized education plan?
Can the person with an injury or illness:
- live safely by themselves or drive?
- successfully go back to work or school?
- manage their finances or medications safely and independently?
Neuropsychological Assessments vary considerably in total amount of time required depending on the purpose. Services provided are not covered by the BC Medical Service Plan, but can generally be reimbursed, at least partly, by extended health care plans. Please contact your insurer to determine your eligibility for service reimbursement. We follow the fee schedule recommended by the Psychological Association of British Columbia (BCPA).
