What is involved in a neuropsychological assessment?

A neuropsychological assessment usually takes 3-4 hours. We first undertake a clinical interview to discuss your concerns and obtain important background information. Then, you will be administered a number of standardised cognitive tests. Following the assessment, your neuropsychologist will analyse your test results and provide a detailed neuropsychological report.
