Neuropsychological assessments are meant to investigate any changes in memory, attention and thinking that can occur as a result of brain injury or illness. It consists of and interview about the client's concerns and a variety of tests, including puzzles, paper and pencil tasks and tests of memory, attention, etc. It is a long assessment and tends to take approximately five hours.

 

We generally start the assessment at 10am and continue to 3pm, with a break for lunch. There are a variety of food options near the practice, or you can bring your own lunch. There are also short breaks approximately every hour to minimise tiredness.

 

Please bring your glasses and a hearing aids if you use them.

 

Using any illicit substances or significant amounts of alcohol 24 hours before the assessment is not a good idea as the results may not be valid. Prescription medication is fine.
