Evaluations for Adults Adults experience problems with their ability to function at work, in college or at home for a wide variety of reasons. For instance, anxiety and depression may prevent your ability to concentrate or get things accomplished. Neurocognitive disorders are another possible cause of work and other related issues. Disorders such as ADHD result in poor attention and concentration and impulsive behaviors. Medical problems such as those following traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, multiple sclerosis or dementia are other causes of significant impairment in the ability to function adequately. The goal of the neuropsychological evaluation in each of these instances is to help determine what the specific areas of difficulty are, what is responsible for them and what needs to be done to help you overcome or cope with them more effectively. Adults may seek a neuropsychological evaluation for the following reasons: 1. Accommodations for college and graduate school entrance exams including the need for extended time, use of a scribe or to have questions and answers read to the test taker.
