Comprehensive Neuropsychology Assessments
A neuropsychological assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that examines a person's cognitive abilities, including memory, attention, language, and problem-solving, to understand how brain functions are related to behavior and daily life.
Neuropsychological assessments look at a range of brain functions, such as:
- Attention and concentration: The ability to focus and maintain focus.
- Memory: The ability to learn, store, and retrieve information.
- Visual perception: The ability to interpret visual information.
- Language: The ability to understand and use language.
- Problem-solving skills: The ability to think critically and solve problems.
- Executive functions: Higher-level cognitive skills like planning, decision-making, and organization.
Types of Assessments Available.
Capacity Assessments
A neuropsychology assessment for capacity evaluates a person's ability to make reasoned and informed decisions, focusing on cognitive functions relevant to decision-making, and can be used to assess capacity for legal, financial, or medical matters.
NDIS
A neuropsychology assessment for the NDIS evaluates brain function and cognitive abilities to identify and understand any impairments, helping to determine eligibility for NDIS support and tailor intervention plans.

Psychoeducation
A neuropsychology assessment for psychoeducation goes beyond standard psychoeducational evaluations by examining how brain function impacts learning and behavior, providing insights into underlying neurocognitive processes to inform interventions.
