CAPACITY ASSESSMENTS

The goal of these assessments is to verify intact cognitive ability, psychological health and decision making to ensure personal and public safety.  Many professionals are entrusted with safety critical roles or require high levels of cognitive ability to perform their jobs at a certain standard. After a trauma, loss, or other life event, individuals may be asked or required by their employers or governing bodies to undergo neuropsychological and psychological assessments. Professionals such as airline pilots, military personnel, law enforcement officers, air traffic controllers, physicians, would benefit from an assessment of this kind. In other cases, the capacity of a person’s ability to make financial, life or medical decisions may be in question due to a psychological or medical condition. Following assessment, we can also provide supports and treatment to these clients should there be treatable neuropsychological or psychological barriers to their performance.­­
