NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
Neuropsychological assessment refers to the range of tests and measures that allow
us to examine various brain-based functions such as attention, executive functioning,
working memory and various other types of memory. These types of tests provide
specific information about how we learn, acquire, assimilate and retain various types of
information and sensory input. They are used to assist in the diagnosis and treatment
of ADHD/ADD and LD (Learning Disabilities). Neuropsychological tests may also
be helpful in diagnosing and clarifying other disorders such as Non-verbal Learning
Disabilities (NLD), Asperger’s Syndrome/Autistic Spectrum Disorders or other
Developmental Disabilities such as Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or Sensory
Integration Disorders
