Psychological Testing
Evaluations After a Brain Injury or Concussion
When memory, focus or mood has changed after a concussion, fall, accident or other brain injury, testing can measure what changed and guide recovery.
When people ask for this evaluation
After a car accident, a sports injury, a fall or a medical event, some people notice they lose their train of thought, forget conversations, tire quickly or feel more irritable than before. Family members often see the change first.
A neuropsychological evaluation measures these skills directly. It can show what has changed, what remains strong, and what supports would help at home, school or work.
Areas we measure
- Attention and concentration
- Learning and memory
- Processing speed
- Language and word finding
- Planning, organization and problem solving
- Mood and emotional changes that often follow an injury

Questions
How soon after an injury should I be tested?
It depends on the injury and your doctor's advice. Call us and we can talk through timing.
Can this be used for a legal case?
Forensic and court-related evaluations are a separate service. Tell us at the start if the evaluation is connected to a legal matter.
What if I have new or worsening symptoms?
Sudden or worsening symptoms after a head injury need prompt medical care. Call your doctor, or 911 in an emergency.
Why a baseline helps
Repeat testing months later can show whether skills are recovering and how quickly. A first evaluation gives you and your doctors a measured starting point, which makes later decisions about returning to work, school, driving or sports easier to make with confidence rather than guesswork.
