What Are Neuropsychological Assessments?

Neuropsychological assessments are comprehensive evaluations that examine how different areas of the brain function and how this affects thinking, learning, behavior, and emotions.

These assessments provide detailed information about cognitive strengths and challenges, helping to understand conditions like ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, brain injuries, and other neurological differences.

At IMPACT, our neuropsychological assessments go beyond identifying problems—we focus on understanding your complete cognitive profile to guide effective interventions, accommodations, and treatment planning.
