Clinical Neuropsychology

Clinical Neuropsychology is the intersection between neurology and psychology. Our clinical neuropsychologist sees adolescents, adults and older persons experiencing cognitive, behavioural and emotional difficulties secondary to neurological causes. We see individuals who have experienced neurological insult such as traumatic brain injury (eg. stroke, tumours, epilepsy), and provide diagnostic opinion and recommendations for specific rehabilitation purposes are central to the service. An assessment typically involves both thorough clinical history taking formal cognitive testing (predominantly using paper and pencil tasks), and feedback is provided to the patient and their family. A comprehensive report is additionally compiled with detailed recommendations regarding ongoing case management.
