Adult Neuropsychological Assessments in Ottawa
Overview
Neuropsychological assessments are essential tools to better understand how the brain is functioning. At Belleisle Clinics, we provide comprehensive adult neuropsychological assessments in Ottawa for individuals experiencing challenges related to memory, attention, executive functioning, and more.
These assessments help clarify diagnoses, inform treatment planning, and support documentation for academic, medical, or legal contexts. Our approach is client-focused, evidence-based, and adapted to your unique needs.
Who Can Benefit from an Adult Neuropsychological Assessment?
You might consider an assessment if you or a loved one is:
-
Experiencing difficulties with memory, focus, or processing speed
-
Noticing signs of cognitive decline, such as confusion or forgetfulness
-
Living with a neurological condition (e.g., stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s)
-
Recovering from a concussion or brain injury
-
Managing persistent attention-related challenges and considering adult ADHD
-
Referred by a physician, insurance provider, or legal counsel for documentation or independent medical evaluation
Assessments are often requested for workplace accommodations, academic support, disability claims, or peace of mind when facing cognitive uncertainty.
What Does the Assessment Involve?
Our neuropsychological assessment process is tailored, professional, and compassionate:
​
1. INTAKE INTERVIEW (Usually Conducted Online)
A licensed psychologist conducts an in-depth interview to understand your history, concerns, and goals.
​
2. STANDARDIZED COGNITIVE TESTING
You’ll complete a series of tasks measuring different areas of brain function—such as attention, memory, language, reasoning, processing speed, and executive function. Testing is usually administered by a qualified psychometrist under psychologist supervision.
​
3. COMPREHENSIVE REPORT
Your results are interpreted in relation to your personal and medical background. The report includes a detailed summary of findings, diagnoses (if applicable), and recommendations.
​
4. FEEDBACK SESSION (Usually Conducted Online)
A follow-up session is available to review your results, discuss next steps, and answer your questions.
