Traumatic brain injury/Concussion Clinic

Occurs when an external force traumatically injures the brain, such as a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. Mild injury may cause temporary dysfunction of brain cells, while more serious injury can result in bruising, torn tissues, bleeding, and other significant complications.  We work with sports concussion, motor vehicle accidents, falls, and other types of acquired injuries (Infectious bacteria or viruses, solvents, carbon monoxide, lead, occupational exposures).

Psychoeducational Assessment Clinic

A comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations consists of assessment in the areas of attention, cognition, information processing, language, academic achievement, and social-emotional adjustment.  These assessments are designed to assist the patient with gaining needed services and accommodations for work or school.

Forensic and Capacity Evaluations

Forensic Neuropsychological Evaluation involves the application of neuropsychological assessment methods to the evaluation of criminal or civil litigants. Assessment of collateral sources of information, response bias, malingering, and norm-based psychological testing are essential components of the forensic clinical neuropsychological evaluation.

These exams can be completed to determine if an individual has the ability to make a variety of decisions or execute a variety of behaviors (e.g., testamentary capacity, capacity to live independently, financial capacity, etc.) , objectively quantify cognitive and emotional deficits as a result of an injury, developmental/intellectual delays, and/or a disease process.
