Why Have I Been Referred?

People are generally referred to us in order to help treating professionals understand how the different areas of the brain are working.  Sometimes the need for this evaluation is prompted secondary to developmental delays, after someone has acquired a brain injury, or diagnosed with a medical condition or neurological disease such as dementia, epilepsy, HIV, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, etc.  Other times, people are referred when there are changes or complaints involving memory, attention, language, motor skills such as balance and coordination, and/or personality/emotional struggles.  
​
Additionally, people are referred when there are concerns regarding daily functioning such as driving, readiness to return to work, managing money, or performing household duties.

Referrals are also made secondary to learning issues within the school environment such as suspected Dyslexia, social and/or language atypical behaviors such as an Autism Spectrum Disorder or Nonverbal Learning Disability (NLD).

Overall, testing will help to differentiate or identify a diagnosis and etiological sources of brain-based dysfunction, as well as develop a treatment plan/intervention to offset cognitive/behavioral deficits.
