Cognitive evaluation for post-MVA concussion, traumatic brain injury, post-concussion syndrome and other neurological presentations. Court-ready, validated batteries, defensible methodology.
When a neuropsychological assessment is needed
- Persistent cognitive symptoms after a motor vehicle accident or workplace injury
- Determining the cognitive contribution to a SABS catastrophic determination (Criterion 5)
- Differentiating cognitive symptoms attributable to TBI from those attributable to pain, mood or medication
- Documenting cognitive recovery (or lack of it) over time
- Vocational and academic planning post-injury
What the assessment includes
- Diagnostic interview. Detailed history, accident specifics, premorbid functioning.
- Cognitive battery. WAIS-IV, WMS-IV, executive-function tests, attention measures, memory and learning, language and visuospatial.
- Validity testing. Embedded and stand-alone performance-validity and symptom-validity measures.
- Mood and psychological screen. Standardised inventories.
- Functional impact analysis. How findings affect work, driving, daily life.

A full neuropsychological assessment is 4–6 hours of patient contact, sometimes spread across two appointments. The report is delivered within 10 business days of the final session.
Frequently asked questions
Will the patient need any prep?
A good night of sleep, glasses or hearing aids, and bringing any imaging reports. We send a prep letter.
