Clinical Neuropsychological Assessments in Palo Alto, CA

Understand how your brain works. Decide what comes next.

Find Clarity Where Things Have Felt Unclear

Maybe you’ve always felt like something was different, but no one could explain why. Maybe your child is struggling at school despite their best efforts. Or a diagnosis you received never quite seemed to fit.

A comprehensive neuropsychological assessment helps you uncover what’s beneath the surface and find support that truly fits your needs.

Our team looks at a range of cognitive, developmental, behavioral, and emotional concerns across all ages, including the conditions below:

Conditions

ADHD/ADD can bring a variety of challenges, including struggling to concentrate or pay attention, having trouble with time management, struggling to stay on task, or making careless mistakes. Neuropsychological testing for ADHD can help.

School can be a struggle for any child, but a learning disability doesn’t need to be an additional roadblock to success. Get neuropsychological testing for kids for individualized learning solutions.

Autism affects about one in every 59 children, but it doesn’t look the same for every child. Neurological testing for autism provides comprehensive insight into your child’s strengths and weaknesses for optimal support.

Falls and car accidents are frequent causes of concussions, but did you know you’re 3–6 times more likely to sustain a second traumatic brain injury if your concussion happens while playing sports? Neuropsychological testing supports effective concussion rehabilitation.

Anxiety can appear at any age. If you or someone you love has feelings of worry, nervousness, or fear that interfere with concentration, sleep, or the ability to socialize, it’s time for an in-depth evaluation.

Whether or not you’ve tried traditional treatments, you can recover from depression with a clinical neuropsychological assessment and innovative therapies that target the psychological, biological, and social causes of depression.

If you struggle with severe tension headaches or migraines, our innovative therapies may be the answer. You can find individualized solutions with the help of a clinical neuropsychological assessment and treatment plan.

If you’d like to improve your overall health, train your body, optimize brain functioning, and restore your mental well-being, there’s no better place than Abbey Neuropsychology Clinic for innovative mind-body optimization.

Age-related cognitive decline takes many forms—from short-term memory loss and finding it hard to communicate ideas to feeling more clumsy and falling more often. Slow down or minimize these changes with the right tools and treatment.

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.
