Adult Neuropsychological Evaluations

Adult neuropsychological evaluations assess how you or a loved one are functioning compared to other individuals your age. These evaluations provide insight into cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning, providing early diagnostic clarity, and helping adults better understand their unique strengths and challenges.

What to Expect During an Adult Neuropsychological Evaluation

An adult neuropsychological evaluation can answer questions such as:


  • Is my forgetfulness normal for my age?

  • Do I have an undiagnosed attentional or learning disorder that explains my struggles at work?

  • How can I maintain my independence for as long as possible as I age?

  • How does my medical or neurological condition impact my daily living as an adult?

Through a combination of interviews with the client and relevant family members (such as a spouse, partner, or caregiver) and structured tasks (including paper-and-pencil tests, tablet-based tasks, or computer assessments), Dr. Ghilain provides a thorough evaluation of adult cognitive functioning.
