Frequently Asked Questions About Clinical Neuropsychological Assessments

What Is a Neuropsychological Assessment?

Neuropsychology relates to brain-based strengths and weaknesses, including those associated with psychiatric, neurodevelopmental, and neurocognitive disorders. A clinical neuropsychological assessment helps identify these strengths and weaknesses and determine the type of treatment you need.

The team at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic uses acomprehensive battery of tests to investigate:

  • Intelligence
  • Language
  • Visual-spatial abilities
  • Fine motor skills
  • Information processing speed
  • Memory, learning, and academic abilities
  • Emotional and social functioning
  • Cognitive flexibility
  • Problem-solving and conceptualization
  • Planning and organization
  • Visual tracking

In addition, we use detailed medical, developmental, social, academic, and psychological histories to inform our neuropsychological assessments.

Based on your results, we may recommend additional tests to discover the root cause of your challenges. And, because our team works off a strength-based model, we’ll also help you identify what you’re really good at. 


The end goal of testing is your ultimate well-being, both body and mind.

Clinical neuropsychological assessments can help people of all ages, from children to senior citizens. They can provide insight into a wide array of psychological and neurological conditions, including:

A full neuropsychological evaluation can:

  • Diagnose or rule out certain conditions
  • Help plan educational or vocational programs
  • Track progress before and after interventions


You might also benefit from a neuropsychological assessment if you have a child with a neurological or developmental disorder.

When you undergo a neuropsychological assessment at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic, your provider explains how each test is carried out and ensures you’re comfortable proceeding. They then use up-to-date, specialized, and often innovative assessment tools to get a full picture of your neuropsychological function.

An average assessment includes 14–16 hours of one-on-one, in-person time. You can take breaks when you need to and might need to attend multiple sessions. The team doesn’t work under time constraints and continues the assessment process until they get a clear, in-depth picture of you and answer all your questions and concerns.

With permission, the team can also contact collateral sources, like your spouse, teachers, therapists, or physicians, to get a more comprehensive understanding of your strengths and the issues you face.

After your clinical neuropsychological assessment, you receive a detailed written report and a consultation with your provider at Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic.

The assessment breaks down skills into the underlying abilities or components to understand who you are as a person, your strengths and weaknesses, and how you function. It also contains treatment recommendations that create a roadmap toward wellness.

Recommendations can include a variety of traditional and innovative therapies:

  • Classroom or work accommodations
  • Technological support
  • Remediation programs
  • Appropriate books and websites
  • Behavioral guides
  • Advocacy referrals
  • Summer programs
