Growth Work Psychology Services offers cognitive assessments to objectively measure Critical Aspects of daily functioning
As part of a psychological evaluation, it is standard practice to objectively measure on areas such as memory, attention, reasoning, and verbal ability—all cognitive abilities you need to function optimally in everyday life. It’s not a test—it’s a valuable tool to check in on your brain’s health or address concerns. This assessment along with a clinical interview can help you or your child address concerns about ADHD, Memory issues, or problems impacting work and learning.
Why is Measuring Cognitive Health Important?
We all have a subjective idea of how our brains are doing—some days we feel “off” or have “brain fog,” while other days we feel like we can take on the world. Sometimes the off feeling can be an ongoing concern. By putting a number to these subjective feelings with cognitive assessment, we can discover what is causing the good days in order to have more of them. When your brain is performing, every activity in your daily life will be easier, from remembering where you parked your car to doing homework. The results from the assessment can help inform strategies for more optimal performance.

Now, not only will you feel better, but you can objectively track how your brain is responding to treatment.
