Using standardized tests, these assessments evaluate cognitive and behavioural abilities, such as intelligence, attention and concentration, learning and memory, and language, perceptual and motor skills. Their primary objectives are often to provide a diagnosis, treatment plan, and tailored recommendations for learning and return-to-work practices. Children and Adolescents In children and adolescents, neuropsychological assessments focus on various aspects of learning and cognitive functioning. They can provide diagnoses of neurodevelopmental disorders, such as learning disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD), and intellectual disability. They can also identify any other social, emotional, or behavioural challenges affecting a child/adolescent’s learning and development.
