Neuropsychological Evaluations for Children, Adults & Seniors
When attention, memory, learning, or emotional concerns arise, surface-level testing doesn’t always provide clear direction. A thorough assessment helps clarify what is truly driving symptoms and what to do next.
At NeuroBehavioral Associates, our doctoral-level psychologists (PsyD and PhD) provide comprehensive evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. We’re here to replace uncertainty with informed next steps.
Testing is available at our Augusta office and through secure telehealth for residents across Georgia.
Comprehensive Testing for Cognitive and Emotional Health
When appropriate, neuropsychological and psychological testing are combined to provide a comprehensive picture of both cognitive and emotional functioning.
Evaluating How the Brain Is Functioning
Neuropsychological testing is a detailed assessment of cognitive functioning. You complete a series of standardized tasks that help measure how different areas of the brain are working. This may include paper-and-pencil activities, problem-solving tasks, memory exercises, and structured questionnaires.
Testing helps clarify:
- Patterns in attention, memory, and processing
- The underlying cause of cognitive concerns
- Whether symptoms reflect ADHD, a learning difference, or a medical condition
- The impact of injury or illness on thinking
- Cognitive strengths that can be supported and built on
- Whether emotional factors are affecting thinking
What We Examine
Focus and attention • Short- and long-term memory • Speed of thinking • Planning and organization • Problem-solving • Language skills • Mood and behavioral factors
Understanding Emotional and Behavioral Functioning
Psychological testing is a structured assessment of emotional health. This comprehensive evaluation provides a clearer picture of how emotions, thought patterns, and behaviors may be affecting daily life. The goal is to better understand what you’re experiencing so treatment can be accurate and focused.
Testing helps clarify:
- Whether symptoms reflect anxiety, depression, or mood instability
- Patterns in emotional regulation and stress response
- Personality traits that may influence behavior or relationships
- The role of stress, trauma, or life changes
- The most accurate emotional or mental health diagnosis
What We Examine
Mood and anxiety symptoms • Emotional regulation • Coping styles • Behavioral patterns • Relationship dynamics • Personality patterns
- Focus or organization problems
- Learning struggles or school concerns
- Autism questions or developmental differences
- Memory changes, confusion, or cognitive decline
- Brain fog, concussion symptoms, or slowed thinking
- Mood, anxiety, trauma, or stress affecting function
- What the evaluation includes
- Clinical interview + history review
- Standardized cognitive testing (attention, memory, language, executive function)
- Emotional/behavioral measures when relevant
- Feedback session to explain results
- Comprehensive written report + recommendations
- Diagnostic clarity (and rule-outs)
- School/work accommodations guidance (IEP/504/workplace)
- Treatment recommendations and next steps
- Practical strategies for home, school, and daily life
Why Do People Choose Comprehensive Testing?
Neuropsychological and psychological testing provide a deeper understanding of how the brain and emotional systems are functioning. This means:
Get the Right Diagnosis
Many symptoms overlap. Anxiety can look like ADHD. Depression can affect memory. Stress can mimic cognitive decline. A thorough evaluation helps ensure an accurate diagnosis.
Guide the Right Treatment
You receive a comprehensive, detailed report that helps determine the right supports and guide care around: school accommodations and IEP/504 planning, medication management decisions, therapy focus and goals, workplace adjustments, and rehabilitation planning.
This helps families, providers, and schools work from the same clear understanding.
Understand Your Mind More Fully
Beyond a diagnosis, testing provides a clearer understanding of how you think, learn, and respond to challenges. That insight can reduce frustration and make the next steps more manageable.
