– ADHD Assessment. This test consists of an IQ, an assessment of the attentional abilities (visual, divided, auditory, sustained) and executive functions, surveys to fill in and elements of differential diagnosis and comorbidities.
– IQ/Giftedness Assessment. This test can be conducted from 6 years old with a WISC-V or a WAIS-IV depending on the age. From children to elders.
– VINELAND. This test is used in the context of suspicion of intellectual deficiencies or as a way to determine the abilities of a non verbal ASD patient
– Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Assessment. This assessment consists of two main tests : the ADI-R and the ADOS-2. These tests are the most used to assess ASD around the world.
– Social cognition assessment. This test can be very useful to understand how ASD affects you specifically or your child. ASD affects multiple things like facial emotion recognition, theory of mind, cognitive and affective empathy, attribution bias etc. Oftentimes, patients are offered a diagnosis but limited insight of what ASD affects regarding the cognitive functions. These tools also allow for a more precise diagnosis, in a context where diagnosis is highly clinical and generally prone to errors and biases without them.
– Memory assessment in older adults, in the context of dementia. The neuropsychological assessment can help diagnose the type of dementia a patient might suffer. Since these pathologies affects different areas of the brain, if we assess what functions work and what don’t, we can track back the specific brain regions affected by the pathology and link that profile to a pathology.
– Post-stroke/traumatic brain injury assessment to evaluate cognitive impairment. Oftentimes, strokes, traumatic brain injuries or cancers can have an impact on the cognitive functions and impair the abilities and have an impact on the autonomy of the patient. This is a complete test, assessing : memory, visual spatial abilities, attention, language, praxis, orientation, executive functions…
– Comprehensive neuropsychological assessment. Oftentimes, we think of the neuropsychological assessment as something that is only for patients, meaning someone that has difficulties. Actually, anybody can benefit from it. You can undergo a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment, which is way more thorough than an IQ test, which will give you your specific profile on all of your cognitive functions : attention, memory (short and long term, visual and auditory), praxis, executive functions (planning, mental flexibility, inhibition, organisation…), language etc.
