Having a stroke can be a devastating event in a person’s life. In addition to possible changes in physical functioning, individuals often suffer changes in their memory, concentration, language functioning, visuospatial functioning, and their ability to manage many activities of daily living. A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation can help individuals and their families better understand what areas of cognition have been affected as well as what areas continue to be strong. This can help provide concrete information regarding what activities of daily living can be completed independently and safely and what areas of life may require additional assistance. We can also make specific recommendations with regards to ways of improving daily functioning.
