Neuropsychological Assessment NJ

An initial clinical interview, medical and family history, followed by a comprehensive assessment using standardized test batteries (e.g., Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Wechsler Memory Scale, California Verbal Learning Test, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test). We evaluate domains like memory, attention, cognitive skills, intellectual functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive deficits, and processing speed. These tests are essential for detecting conditions such as brain dysfunction, cognitive decline, and neurological disorder.

By establishing cognitive baselines, we track cognitive decline, identify early mild cognitive impairment, and monitor disease impact on executive functioning, memory, and language. This allows us to detect early signs of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or other neurological conditions. Timely assessments support better treatment planning, promote independence, and improve Brain Health.

Yes. We evaluate learning disorders, learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and attention deficit disorder by measuring thinking skills, processing speed, and executive functions. The results help identify academic or behavioral challenges and inform individualized treatment recommendations that can be implemented at school or home.

Absolutely. A precise differential diagnosis allows us to create a targeted treatment plan based on your unique cognitive profile. Whether it involves therapy, speech therapy, medication, or assistive tools like hearing aids, our evaluations ensure your care is personalized. The results are also shared with your care team and other healthcare providers for coordinated support.

All evaluations are conducted and interpreted by licensed clinical neuropsychologists trained in Clinical Neuropsychology and certified by leading organizations such as the American Psychological Association and the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology. Their expertise ensures accurate diagnosis, especially for complex cases involving mental disorders, psychiatric conditions, or overlapping symptoms.

Expect the full process to take 4–8 hours across one or more sessions. This includes the clinical interview, multiple types of tests, scoring, interpretation, and feedback. Allowing enough time for thorough testing ensures that subtle cognitive changes or emerging conditions like vascular dementia, brain tumors, or early Alzheimer’s disease are not overlooked.

The American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology sets rigorous standards for ethical practice and clinical competency in the field of Clinical Neuropsychology. Our evaluations follow these standards to ensure consistent, high-quality care. This is especially important when identifying complex cases involving mild cognitive impairment, cognitive deficits, or post-injury brain dysfunction.

Yes. These evaluations are essential in diagnosing mental disorders, including bipolar disorder, mood conditions, and other psychiatric conditions that impact cognitive function. Through analysis of decision-making capacity, emotional functioning, and memory, our assessments provide valuable insight into how mental health affects daily performance and long-term Brain Health.
