Understanding Brain Function to Support Everyday Life

 

At ClearPath Assessments, we provide neuropsychological assessments to help individuals, families, and professionals understand how the brain is functioning across a range of cognitive, emotional, and behavioural domains. These assessments offer deep insight into how neurological, developmental, or psychological conditions may be affecting learning, behaviour, and daily living.

 

Whether it’s for a child with developmental concerns, a teenager struggling after a head injury, or an adult experiencing memory difficulties, our assessments provide clarity and practical recommendations.

 

 

What is a Neuropsychological Assessment?

 

A neuropsychological assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of brain function, conducted by a Clinical Neuropsychologist with expertise in neurodevelopment and cognitive science. It is designed to assess:

 

  • Memory and attention

  • Executive functioning (e.g., planning, problem-solving, organisation)

  • Processing speed

  • Language and verbal skills

  • Visual-spatial abilities

  • Academic skills

  • Emotional regulation and behaviour

 

 

Who is it for?

 

Neuropsychological assessments are appropriate for:

 

 

Children & Adolescents:

 

  • Complex learning difficulties

  • Attention problems or executive dysfunction

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

  • Brain injury or illness (e.g., concussion, epilepsy)

  • Developmental delays

  • Genetic or neurological conditions (e.g., ADHD, Tourette’s, Fragile X)

 

 

Adults:

 

  • Memory or cognitive decline

  • Acquired brain injuries (e.g., stroke, trauma)

  • Learning or developmental difficulties continuing into adulthood

  • ADHD or executive functioning concerns

  • Monitoring of neurological or medical conditions (e.g., epilepsy, multiple sclerosis)

 

 

What Does the Assessment Involve?

 

Our neuropsychological assessments follow a structured, evidence-based process. Typically this involves:

 

  1. Initial Interview

    Gathering background history, presenting concerns, and goals of the assessment.

  2. Cognitive & Psychological Testing

    In-depth testing across cognitive domains using standardised tools.

  3. Behavioural and Functional Questionnaires

    Input from family, teachers, or caregivers (for children), and self-report for adults.

  4. Diagnostic Formulation

    Integration of test data to form a clear clinical picture.

  5. Detailed Report

    A comprehensive, accessible report with results, interpretations, and practical recommendations.

  6. Feedback Session

    A meeting to walk through the findings, answer questions, and plan next steps.

 

 

Benefits of a Neuropsychological Assessment

 

  • Clarify complex presentations

  • Assist with differential diagnosis (e.g., ADHD vs anxiety vs brain injury)

  • Guide educational, occupational, or therapeutic supports
