We conduct interviews with you and your family members and use standardized assessments to test different areas of brain functioning, such as memory, attention, processing speed, visuospatial functioning and more. The entire process typically takes about 90 minutes and involves answering questions and doing paper and pencil tasks. The results of testing will show your areas of cognitive strengths and weaknesses, which can be very useful to you, your family, and your primary care doctor or neurologist. Often people use results of testing to rule out a diagnosis, make a diagnosis, determine a course of treatment, or assist with family care planning.<\/p>\n
