Who might benefit from a neuropsychology assessment?

Neuropsychologists work with people of all ages and stages of life:

• Young children with developmental delays
• Children and adolescents with learning difficulties
• Adults with problems at work or home
• Older adults with declining abilities

They often work with people with conditions that affect the brain, such as:

• Brain injury
• Stroke
• Dementia and mild cognitive impairment
• Epilepsy
• Movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease
• Diseases affecting the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis
• Brain tumours

You might need to see a neuropsychologist if you have symptoms such as:

• Troubles concentrating
• Difficulty organising and planning
• Problem solving or reasoning difficulties
• Disturbances with coordination or motor control
• Losses of language ability
• Memory problems
• Personality and behaviour changes, following illness or injury
