Eligibility

Neuropsychological assessments are most useful in clinical care where patients have evidence of neurological illness or injury. This includes some classes of mental disorder. We restrict our services to those instances where assessment will inform diagnosis or have some impact on treatment, rehabilitation, or management decisions regarding the patients.
