What is neuropsychology?

Neuropsychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on the connection between the brain and human behaviours. It explores how dysfunctions of the central nervous system can affect cognitive, emotional and behavioural functions.

Why consult a neuropsychologist?

The neuropsychologist specializes in the assessment and treatment of neuropsychological and cognitive disorders. They are able to provide tools and recommendations based on the difficulties that the patient may be experiencing. It can also help a person in rehabilitation to better understand the cognitive and/or behavioural changes that represent obstacles to their adaptation to their new reality.

Several reasons may justify a consultation:

  • Memory problems
  • Problème d’attention
  • Difficulties with language
  • Difficulties with executive functions
  • Concussion
  • Neurodegenerative diseases

Neuropsychology assessent

The neuropsychologist uses psychometric tests to measure the presence and extent of cognitive impairment. Its evaluation process can also include analysis of the medical history, a clinical interview, observations, as well as questionnaires to interpret the results according to the individual's context.

The neuropsychologist aims for a global understanding of cognitive functioning and can sometimes make a clinical judgment on the nature of the cognitive impairments presented.

 

In action mode

Les interventions proposées sont personnalisées en fonction des besoins de chacun. Elles peuvent inclure des programmes de rééducation visant à améliorer les fonctions cognitives, comme la mémoire et l’attention. Dans d’autres cas, des stratégies de gestion et de compensation peuvent être recommandées pour tenter de limiter l’impact des déficits cognitifs sur le fonctionnement de la personne au quotidien.

Consultations with our neuropsychologists take place in our clinic located in Mirabel, on the North Shore, in the Laurentians.
