Every brain is a unique puzzle of genetics, development, experiences, physical health, learned responses, personality, injuries, and diseases. It is the role of a neuropsychologist to sort out the factors that influence how the brain is working in order to understand and explain differences, particularly those that might be interfering with every day functioning. 

Neuropsychological assessment provides a comprehensive understanding of cognitive processes. We can evaluate neurological or neurodevelopmental disorders and understand the etiology and evolution of a disorder or an area of functioning that presents concerns. Neuropsychology is the unique integration of genetic, developmental, and environmental history with testing data to better understand brain functioning. 

 Understanding the neurological sources of individual differences helps identify brain-based disorders in attention, memory, personality, self-awareness (conscious experience), cognition, and emotional expression. Understanding these differences in learning can define current and future expectations in the lifestyle of the individual. Testing will give a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s strengths and impairments. Test results are then used to create a set of customized and practical recommendations for therapy, educational assistance, and medical treatment.
