The work of a clinical neuropsychologist is to understand you - and not just a condtiion or diagnosis. Problems including ADHD, learning disorders, Alzeimer’s Dementia, concussions and medically caused disorders are objectively evaluated. We work closely with your referring physician to assess the behavioral & psychological effects of medical & neurologic injury e.g., (stroke, traumatic brain injury), severe medical illness or other central nervous system (CNS) disorder. A neuropsychologist collects information about the patient with a clinical history which includes medical, surgical, neurological, developmental and psychosocial aspects which may play a parent in the current presenting difficulties. We use standard of care cognitive and psychological tests. Diagnosis is based on clinical information and testing and not just a brief interview. Tech supported platforms are used to evaluate: Intellectual functioning, attention & concentration, visual-spatial abilities, verbal and visual memory,motor, sensory, expressive language, planning and organizing abilities as well as emotional and behavioral functioning. More specifically, neuropsychologists often provide neuropsychological evaluation of neurocognitive status due to concussion, mild traumatic brain injury, moderate to severe brain injury, work related injuries, as well as developmental neuro-diverse conditions such as Asperger’s/ASD.
Our services are informed by extensive experience and professionalism for every patient we see. Although the evaluations are quite standard, the application of our services are sensitive to the uniqueness of each individuals’ needs and concerns.
Dr. English, a board certified neuropsychologist, has been in clinical practice over 25 years. The assessment practices utilized are always consistent with professional standards of care and current clinical approaches. There is an ongoing and consistent review professional papers published about improvements in assessment methods and advances in the field to inform our own professional approaches—all to provide optimal clinical care based upon what is known, valid and expected within the field.
