The Neuropsychology Department provides comprehensive assessments to support diagnosis and treatment of patients with neurological disorders.
Clinical neuropsychology focuses on the relationship between brain function and behavior. The clinical neuropsychologist applies specialized knowledge in evaluating, diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating patients with neurological, medical, neurodevelopmental, and psychiatric conditions, including: Dementias, cognitive impairment, traumatic brain injuries, brain tumors, intellectual disability (IQ assessment), behavioral disorders.
The neuropsychologist uses standardized psychometric tests to examine cognitive functions and create a detailed neuropsychological profile highlighting patient strengths and weaknesses. This information is crucial for accurate and timely diagnosis and for designing and implementing appropriate therapeutic strategies.
