Neuropsychology is a specialised area within psychology that focuses on understanding the relationship between the brain, cognition (i.e., thinking and learning abilities) and behaviour.

Neuropsychological assessments identify our clients’ unique cognitive and behavioural profile in a range of areas that are important for everyday life, including:

• Intelligence or general thinking ability

• Attention and memory

• Planning and organisation

• Academic skills or occupational suitability

• Behaviour, emotional regulation and social skills

This information is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of many brain-related conditions impacting the lives of countless Australian children, adolescents and adults, such as:

• Traumatic Brain Injury (e.g., motor vehicle accident, assault, workplace injury, persistent concussion symptoms)

• Acquired Brain Injury (e.g., stroke, alcohol or other drug misuse)

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

• We use evidence-based measurement tools to quantify

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• Intellectual disability

• Specific Learning Disorder (e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia)

• Dementia (e.g., Alzheimer’s)

• Epilepsy

We use evidence-based measurement tools to evaluate our client’s cognitive, behavioural, social and emotional functioning, giving us a holistic understanding of their unique strengths and challenges. This allows us to provide individually-tailored recommendations and strategies to help our clients to improve their lives and achieve their goals.

At Keys Neuropsychology, we want to help you to understand how injury or differences in brain development are impacting your life or that of your child, and what you can do about it!
