UK HealthCare Neuropsychology Service

The UK HealthCare Neuropsychology Service offers diagnostic evaluations for children (age 5 and older) and adults with suspected neurocognitive deficits. Neuropsychological evaluation is a standard way to supplement other medical tests, and includes evaluation of:

• memory skills
• language
• attention
• planning and organization
• motor skill
• academic achievement
• visuospatial ability

Neuropsychological evaluation may be helpful in evaluating and diagnosing deficits due to a number of causes, including:

• head injury
• motor vehicle accidents
• sports-related concussion
• dementia
• toxic exposure
• epilepsy
• tumors
• depression and anxiety
• many other causes

The neuropsychologist will provide a report summarizing the patient’s neurocognitive functioning in the context of premorbid functioning and background. Reports also include recommendations for treatment and/or management.
