Older Adult Evaluations

Older adult evaluations usually stem from family, medical providers, or self-recognized concerns about a cognitive change.  These evaluations are generally used to help differentiate cognitive decline from normal aging.  

Evaluations generally take 2-4 hours.  After the interview with you and (ideally) a loved one or other collateral source of information, we will survey all areas of your thinking (attention, expressive and receptive language, ability to name and find the right word, learning and memory, processing speed, motor functioning) and your emotional state.  

Results are offered during a feedback session .  After the feedback, a report with results of the assessment and detailed recommendations (i.e., specific recommendations for treatment and further evaluation) is created.
