What Is a Neuropsychological Evaluation?
A neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment designed to understand how brain functioning affects cognition, behavior, learning, and daily functioning.
These evaluations examine multiple cognitive domains, including attention, memory, executive functioning, processing speed, language, and problem-solving.
Neuropsychological evaluations are often recommended when concerns extend beyond attention alone or when individuals experience complex cognitive, developmental, or neurological symptoms.

Neuropsychological evaluations may be helpful for:
Children & adolescents
with learning, memory, developmental, or executive functioning concerns
Adults
experiencing memory, concentration, or cognitive changes
Individuals
with a history of brain injury, medical illness, or neurological conditions
Or those referred by physicians, schools, or mental health professionals for diagnostic clarity

How Neuropsychological Evaluations Differ From ADHD Evaluations
While ADHD evaluations focus primarily on attention and behavioral patterns, neuropsychological evaluations provide a broader and more detailed assessment of overall cognitive functioning.
In some cases, neuropsychological testing may be recommended when ADHD symptoms overlap with learning, memory, or neurological concerns.
