Assessment
Neuropsychological tests are designed to examine a variety of cognitive abilities, including speed of information processing, attention, memory, language and executive functions.
Through testing, Dr. Dixit can assess strengths and weaknesses in a patient’s cognitive functioning. In addition, her assessment examines development, functioning, academic skills, and psychological coping strategies. This allows her to create custom treatment plans to help patients regain a sense of wholeness.
