A neuropsychological assessment allows for the development of a cognitive profile of an individual’s strengths and weaknesses. The integrity of the underlying brain structures associated with these strengths and weaknesses is determined by systematically evaluating cognitive, emotional, and psychological functions. This information can assist in the development of interventions to improve and maximize daily functioning at work, in school, or in home and community functions. A neuropsychological assessment provides information that can help an individual operate at their optimal level.
