Our Tests, Treatments, and Therapies

Specialized comprehensive assessment and evaluation

Our care begins with a complete examination of your loved one's neurological function, memory, speech, and reasoning ability. If needed, your loved one will be given a neuropsychological evaluation which involves a more detailed assessment of cognitive and behavioral functions. This comprehensive evaluation helps determine a diagnosis and possible treatments and can contribute to decisions about your loved one's prognosis, rehabilitation potential, assessment of independence, need for special services, and educational or vocational options. All families meet with a neurologist and physician assistant once the assessment is complete to discuss these options.

Follow-up

Follow-up is a routine part of our treatment plan. Your loved one and family meet with our team to review treatment recommendations and discuss medications, current behaviors and the family's support system. Neuropsychological testing is repeated as needed to monitor your loved one's status.
