Traumatic Brain Injury
Even mild TBIs can create invisible cognitive strain. Testing clarifies which systems need rest, rehabilitation, or accommodations.
Understanding post-concussive symptoms
After trauma, the brain’s networks may work harder to complete the same tasks. People describe headaches, slowed reading, light/sound sensitivity, or emotional lability. Symptoms can fluctuate, making it hard to know when to push and when to rest.
What neuropsychological testing reveals
- Processing speed, working memory, and divided attention are measured to pinpoint where inefficiencies remain.
- Mood and sleep factors are screened—they often amplify cognitive complaints after TBI.
- Results guide school/work accommodations and rehab priorities (speech therapy, occupational therapy, vestibular therapy).
Recovery planning
We emphasize energy budgeting, pacing strategies, and gradual return‑to‑learn/return‑to‑work plans. When needed, we connect clients with specialty therapies (vision rehab, vestibular PT) and collaborate with neurologists/rehab physicians for multidisciplinary care.
