Following the scheduling of your appointment, you will be asked to complete some forms providing background information that you can either mail in or bring with you on your appointment date. Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations are scheduled across two consecutive days, usually one morning and one full day. Some portions of the assessment can be done virtually; this will be discussed with you at the time of booking. You will meet with Dr. Mead-Wescott or Dr. Talbot to discuss your situation (or your child’s situation) and concerns, followed by the testing procedures. You will be provided breaks as often as needed, as well as a lunch break for full-day evaluations. After you have completed the evaluation procedures, your test results will be compiled and a report prepared. You will return to the office (in-person or virtually) for a “feedback session” to discuss the results and recommendations, at which time you will usually receive a copy of your report. You can also request that copies of your report be sent to your doctor, school or other involved party. In some situations (e.g., if you have been referred by your insurance company or lawyer), procedures relating to the feedback session and the report will vary; you will be notified if this applies to you.
