Who can benefit from a neuropsychological
evaluation?
Neuropsychologists at Boswell Neuropsychology have specialized training in the evaluation of patients with a history (or suspected history) of many disorders and syndromes as well as special gifts and talents:
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD)
- Learning disabilities/ Dyslexia
- Non-verbal learning disabilities
- Auditory and visual processing disorders
- Autistic spectrum disorders
- Asperger’s Syndrome
- Giftedness
- Speech and language disorders
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Cerebrovascular accidents (strokes)
- Psychiatric disorders (anxiety, depression, mood swings, for example)
- Behavioral disorders (conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, etc.)
- Developmental delays and mental retardation
- Seizure disorders (epilepsy)
- Tumors of the brain
- Tourette’s syndrome
Other conditions affecting a person’s ability to succeed socially, academically and
professionally.
The result of the evaluation is diagnostic clarity and a treatment plan tailored to the patient’s unique personality and neurocognitive profile. This information is discussed at a feedback meeting and is detailed in a written report. The report includes specific, individualized recommendations that have been shown to be effective for similar individuals. Interventions can be implemented in concert with existing professionals (e.g., educators, psychologists, physicians) and with referrals and new resources introduced by the neuropsychologist.
