The Center for Neuropsychology and Counseling

The Center for Neuropsychology and Counseling may look at a broader range of skills, evaluating skills not usually tested by the clinical or school psychologist. A neuropsychological assessment may include tests of intelligence, academic skills, attention and concentration, learning and memory, processing speed, visual spatial perception, language skills, visual motor and fine motor skills, sensory perception, executive functioning (such as planning, organization, initiating and inhibiting behaviors) and emotional functioning. The neuropsychologist interprets the pattern of results in the context of the person’s developmental stage, their current setting and the medical history. An intervention plan is developed to support the development of skills and/or how to use the strengths. The neuropsychologist can use assessment results to help plan for the future.
