A Neuropsychologist is a Psychologist with specialized training in Neurology as well as Psychiatry and Psychology.Â
Through a formal, specialized evaluation process, a Neuropsychologist can determine a person's cognitive skills. Are they having difficulties with attention, memory, judgment, insight, awareness, visual-spatial skills or planning abilities.
Should they be on disability? Worker's Compensation? Driving? Managing their money? Living alone? Making changes to their will? Giving money to strangers? Are others taking advantage of them?
A Neuropsych Consultation can help determine cognitive (thinking) strengths and weaknesses and can help you and other healthcare providers determine the best treatment plan.
