Neuropsychology is a branch of psychology that studies how a person’s cognition, emotion, and behavior are related to their brain. A neuropsychological evaluation is used to determine exactly what functions and abilities are affected. The results of the evaluation will assist in answering questions concerning returning to work or school, whether academic accommodations may be helpful, safe driving, independent living, and aid in treatment planning. The evaluation can also help track progress and/or change over time.
