In some cases we need to go beyond a broad diagnosis such as ADD or Anxiety to determine just what is going on, and just what to do about it. Having a long list of diagnoses is often not much better in our quest to fully understand an individual’s specific needs.
At MindMatters Neuropsychology, we develop efficient, effective interventions based on a child’s or adult’s detailed Neuropsychological Profile, which includes comprehensive and detailed measurements of:

• Core Attention
• Impulse-Control Capacities
• Memory (Short-Term and Long-Term)
• Executive Functioning
• Auditory and Language Processing
• Visual-Spatial Processing
• Sensory-Motor Processing
• Processing Speed
• Intellect
• Achievement in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics
• Social and Interpersonal Functioning
• Emotional Intelligence and Regulation
• Behavioral Controls
• Personality

This level of detail about a particular child or adult gives us a veritable Mind Map from which we develop interventions, not from broad-based diagnoses, but from a deep understanding of his or her neurological and psychological make-up.

Then, we recommend only the most tried-and-true methods for addressing the problems we identify, tailored-made for each unique and unrepeatable person we see in our clinic, so that individuals and families are no longer going down blind alleys or dead end roads.

Our plans work with the individual, his or her loved ones (including parents), school teachers or employers (only if requested), and other practitioners to create a network of success that is hard to beat. While we cannot “cure” every condition we see, we are able to give great clarity to what is going on and what is likely the best way to manage it.
