Find a psychologist specializing in neuropsychology
Neuropsychology deals with the relationship between brain function and behavior. A neuropsychologist can assess cognitive difficulties following brain injury, concussion, dementia, or neurological diseases. The assessment maps strengths and weaknesses in memory, attention, language, and executive functions and provides a basis for targeted rehabilitation.
