Areas of practice
Concussion/Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
Whether sustained through sport or accident, the majority of individuals with concussion will recover quickly. In cases when symptoms do not resolve, our clinic can provide evaluation and both acute and longer-term recovery support in order to help individuals return to their baseline functioning.
ADHD
ADHD can cause pervasive difficulties for children and adults in academic and occupational functioning, as well as in social relationships. While ADHD cannot be “cured”, through the process of evaluation, intervention, and support, quality of life can be greatly improved.
Dementia and Memory Concerns
Cognitive changes are a normal part of the ageing process, however determining what’s “normal” can be difficult. Neuropsychological testing can determine if there are memory or other cognitive problems which deviate from normal and can provide a baseline to track possible decline over time.
Other Cognitive or Developmental Concerns
A variety of medical and developmental conditions are accompanied by cognitive difficulties. Comprehensive assessment can provide a framework for intervention and tracking growth or decline over time.
