Many people experience difficulties with learning, focusing, or completing daily tasks. At The Wake Kendall Group, we offer neuropsychological evaluations in Washington, D.C. that assess cognitive processing, academic achievement, memory, and attention/executive functioning. This type of evaluation offers information about an individual’s strengths and weaknesses so that children, adolescents, and adults are better able to manage everyday demands at home, school, and work.
A neuropsychological evaluation at our D.C. office connects daily challenges to specific areas of cognitive processing. You will receive a profile of your strengths and areas that may need support, as well as practical recommendations from our psychologists. This type of assessment is often helpful if individuals are having a hard time with school, trouble focusing, and staying organized. It can support requests for documentation related to learning plans or accommodations in school or the workplace.
A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation is not a single test. It is a individually tailored set of cognitive and neuropsychological measures s to help you better understand how you process information. We provide evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. Testing examines higher-level reasoning abilities, language processing, memory, attention/executive functioning, and academic functioning. We also can assess social and emotional functioning.
Before your neuropsychological evaluation in our Washington, D.C. office, identify the questions you want answered. Your clinician will request copies of prior testing reports and report cards, and ask about your work experience and current medications. Most neuropsychological evaluations include an initial meeting to understand your history and goals, followed by two to four testing appointments, with breaks as needed. Your clinician selects the specific measures that are appropriate for your evaluation.
Following the intake interview and testing sessions, the process includes careful scoring and interpretation and then a feedback meeting where we review results and recommendations. We also provide a comprehensive written report.
After the evaluation, our recommendations may focus on academic or workplace accommodations, implementing study skills, planning and organizational strategies, academic tutoring, and other supports at school and home. Results can also help individuals advocate at school or work, whether supporting a child or making changes for yourself. Many people find it reassuring to identify their strengths, not just areas that need support.
If you are ready to gain some clarity, The Wake Kendall Group is here to administer neuropsychological evaluations. We will help you understand the skills that support learning and daily functioning, and translate those results into practical next steps. Call our office to schedule appointments and start moving forward with a plan that meets your needs.
