Neuropsychological assessment on the South Shore | Neuropsychologist | Familio

Neuropsychologists are mental health professionals who are interested in cognitive functioning, that is, in how the brain thinks, learns, and reacts. Their role is to carry out the assessment of neuropsychological disorders and to examine different cognitive functions such as memory, language, comprehension, and spatial perception.

To do this, they use psychometric tests to objectively identify a person’s strengths and challenges. These assessments help to better understand the difficulties a person may experience in daily life. Afterwards, the neuropsychologist can guide the person toward effective strategies that help better manage these challenges and improve quality of life.

At Familio, neuropsychologists work in close collaboration with an interdisciplinary team, composed of social workers, psychoeducators, sexologists, psychosocial workers, occupational therapists and many others, in order to ensure a comprehensive care approach adapted to the specific needs of each client.

People often seek consultation to better understand cognitive functioning when everyday challenges persist despite the tools and measures put in place to improve the situation. Assessment of disorders makes it possible to draw up a cognitive profile or an overall picture of functioning, in order to better grasp each individual's strengths and challenges.

This approach is particularly useful in cases of ADHD, dyslexia, learning disorders, cognitive degeneration, long COVID, or other neurodevelopmental disorders. It may also be necessary to obtain a school or professional certificate.

Learning support is central for children, but evaluations also concern adolescents and adults with difficulties in concentration, organization, impulsivity, or in interpersonal relationships.

Familio offers services adapted to all ages, in private practice, with several years of experience in Montérégie. Whether you need a school exemption, an ADHD assessment or a diagnosis for giftedness / HPI (high intellectual potential) or learning disorder, contact us. The professionals at Familio are here to help you overcome your difficulties and to offer support tailored to your needs.

A neuropsychological assessment is carried out progressively and in a supervised, structured manner, in a reassuring clinical setting. The process begins with gathering information and an in-depth clinical interview to fully understand the history, the difficulties experienced, and the life context.

The assessment includes administering standardized neuropsychological tests, chosen according to needs, to evaluate different cognitive functions such as attention, memory, and executive functions. The results are analyzed as a whole and presented at a feedback meeting, accompanied by a written report and concrete recommendations.

The cost of a neuropsychological assessment starts at $1,700*.

*The price and duration of the assessment vary depending on the reason for consultation and the complexity of the situation.
