What is IN person Neuropsychological Assessment
In Person Neuropsychological Assessment
In-person neuropsychological assessment is completed in two phases. The first phase is virtual and consists of a battery of standardized, validated, and clinically regulated tests. The second phase is in-person testing, which typically takes between three and three and a half hours. This phase consists of various subtests to assess memory, processing speed, perceptual organization, verbal skills, learning abilities, and executive functioning. In-person neuropsychological assessment is designed to evaluate and diagnose the following:
Neurodevelopmental Disorders:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Specific Learning Disabilities (e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia)
- Intellectual Disability
- Cerebral Palsy
- Visual, Motor, and Hearing Impairments
Accommodation Services:
- Educational evaluations for Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 Plans
- Accommodations for standardized tests (e.g., SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT)
Disability Services:
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
- Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letters
Memory Impairment:
- Cognitive Impairment
- Dementia (e.g., Alzheimer's Disease, Frontotemporal Dementia, Lewy Body Dementia, Mixed Dementia)
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI, including concussion syndrome)
- Stroke
- Meningitis
The results of an in-person neuropsychological assessment are intended to identify not only intellectual or learning difficulties but also any other cognitive or psychological difficulties that may be contributing to an individual’s symptom profile. After the in-person neuropsychological testing is completed, the doctoral-level neuropsychologist at the NEAT Center of Austin will write the neuropsychological report. The final product will be an extensive report (70–100 pages) that will be thoroughly reviewed by you and your neuropsychologist during a comprehensive feedback session.
