What’s the
Right Assessment
FOR YOU?

Not sure whether you need a
general psychological evaluation
or
neuropsychological evaluation?

Here's how to tell the difference.

General Psychological
& Cognitive Assessment

Start here if you're asking, "I feel like something is off, but I don't know what it is."

You've noticed changes or concerns but don't yet have a diagnosis or a known cause.

Using an individually chosen battery of intelligence tests, memory tests, tests of executive functioning, language assessments, and psychological or emotional measures, this evaluation helps answer questions such as:

  • Am I an adult with undiagnosed ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorder?

  • Am I or is my teen struggling at school because of a learning challenge, attention issues, or something else?

  • Do I need documentation for academic or workplace accommodations?

  • What's actually going on, and what would help?

What does Evaluation Involve?

This evaluation is broad by design.

It looks across intellectual skills, executive functioning, attention, processing patterns, learning, language, and emotional wellbeing to figure out what's happening, and includes concrete recommendations that may include referral to a therapist, physician, or another vetted specialist, along with practical steps you or your family can take on your own.

We work with adults and adolescents 16 and up.

What's the difference between psychological assessment and neuropsychological evaluation

Neuropsychological Evaluation

This is a different type of evaluation for situations involving a known or suspected neurological event or medical condition: stroke, traumatic brain injury, seizure disorder, dementia, or a capacity or forensic question.

Rather than asking "what's going on," this evaluation asks "where, how, and how much?" It requires a neuropsychologist with specific training in mapping cognitive strengths and weaknesses to brain systems, tracking change over time, and supporting medical, legal, or safety decisions, such as return-to-work or return-to-driving determinations.

This isn't something we provide directly. If your concerns point in this direction, we're happy to help you think through what kind of specialist to look for, and can point you toward resources for finding one.
