Neuropsychological evaluations for children (ages 2+), adolescents, and adults

At NeuroBehavioral Associates, we provide comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations for children (ages 2+), adolescents, and adults. These evaluations help clarify diagnosis, identify strengths and areas of need, and translate findings into practical recommendations for home, school, work, and daily life.

If you’re experiencing changes in thinking, attention, memory, mood, or functioning, or you’re noticing these changes in a loved one. Our team can help you understand what’s driving symptoms and what to do next.

Common areas we evaluate include:

When “I just don’t feel like myself” won’t go away

Many people experience lingering cognitive and emotional symptoms after COVID or other viral illnesses. Brain fog can show up as slowed thinking, difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, word-finding trouble, mental fatigue, and feeling overwhelmed by tasks that used to be easy.

Common concerns we hear:

  • Trouble focusing, multitasking, or completing tasks
  • Forgetfulness, “blanking,” or losing your train of thought
  • Slower processing speed and mental fatigue
  • Word-finding issues
  • Increased anxiety, irritability, or sleep disruption
  • Difficulty returning to work/school at your prior level

How a neuropsychological evaluation helps

A neuropsychological evaluation can clarify:

  • Which cognitive skills are affected (attention, memory, executive functioning, processing speed, etc.)
  • Whether symptoms are more consistent with post-viral cognitive changes, mood/anxiety impacts, sleep disruption, ADHD, or another condition
  • Specific supports and strategies to improve day-to-day functioning

What you’ll receive:

  • A clear summary of findings
  • Practical recommendations (work/school accommodations if needed)
  • Treatment planning guidance (as appropriate)
  • Coordination recommendations for your care team
When worry, stress, and overwhelm start affecting daily life

Anxiety can impact both emotional well-being and cognitive performance. Many people describe “racing thoughts,” difficulty concentrating, memory lapses, sleep disruption, and physical symptoms that make day-to-day life harder.

Common concerns we evaluate:

  • Difficulty concentrating or staying organized
  • Increased forgetfulness under stress
  • Performance anxiety at school or work
  • Panic symptoms or persistent worry
  • Avoidance, irritability, fatigue, and sleep disturbance

How evaluation can help:

When anxiety is present, it can mimic, or worsen attention and memory issues. An evaluation can help differentiate:

  • Anxiety-driven concentration difficulties vs. ADHD
  • Stress-related memory problems vs. other cognitive causes
  • The relationship between mood, sleep, and cognitive performance

Recommendations may include:

  • Evidence-based therapy recommendations (when appropriate)
  • Skills-based supports for attention, organization, and coping
  • School/work accommodations (as appropriate)
  • Guidance for next steps with your treating providers
When motivation, energy, and clarity feel out of reach

Depression often affects concentration, motivation, processing speed, and memory—sometimes in ways that feel similar to cognitive decline. A careful evaluation can help clarify what’s happening and identify meaningful next steps.

Common concerns we evaluate:

  • Trouble concentrating and following through
  • Slowed thinking or “mental heaviness”
  • Memory complaints, especially for recent information
  • Low motivation, fatigue, and disrupted sleep
  • Reduced enjoyment, irritability, or social withdrawal

How evaluation helps

A neuropsychological evaluation can clarify:

  • Whether cognitive symptoms are consistent with depression/mood effects
  • Whether there are additional contributing factors (sleep, medical issues, attention conditions, neurologic factors)
  • What supports can help improve functioning now

What you’ll receive

  • Clear results and clinical impressions
  • Practical recommendations for treatment planning and daily functioning
  • Accommodation guidance when appropriate
Understanding cognitive changes and planning the right supports

After a stroke, people may experience changes in attention, memory, language, processing speed, visual-spatial skills, executive functioning, and emotional regulation. Symptoms can vary widely depending on the location and severity of the stroke.

Common post-stroke concerns:

  • Slowed thinking or reduced mental stamina
  • Trouble with planning, organization, or multitasking
  • Memory changes
  • Word-finding difficulties or language changes
  • Changes in mood, irritability, or emotional control
  • Difficulty returning to work or independent routines

How evaluation helps after stroke

A neuropsychological evaluation can:

  • Identify cognitive strengths and limitations
  • Clarify what skills are most affected
  • Support rehabilitation planning and compensatory strategies
  • Provide documentation for workplace accommodations/disability planning (as appropriate)
  • Help families understand support needs and realistic expectations

Recommendations may include

  • Rehab-focused strategies and home supports
  • Referrals for therapy/rehabilitation services (as appropriate)
  • Guidance for return-to-work planning
  • Practical tools for daily functioning and caregiver support
