Basically, neuropsychological testing is a detailed assessment of you or your family member’s cognitive, behavioral, and emotional functioning. This battery of testing isrecommended by MedPsych to better understand you or your family member’s strengths and challenges, particularly in areas like learning, attention, memory, problem-solving, and social skills. We believe our testing process is integral for diagnosing specific conditions, guiding educational plans, and for developing therapeutic interventions. 

Preparing for testing is mainly aboutensuring you or your loved one is comfortable and knows what to expect. For children and teens, explain that the testing involves a series of activities and questions, much like the games and schoolwork they are familiar with. You may also reassure them that thereis no pressure based on performance as thereare no right or wrong answers, and that it’sjust a way to understand how they think and learn best.
