Patient Education for a Neuropsychological Exam
How to Prepare for a Neuropsychological Evaluation
- Initial Intake Packets and/or Questionnaires should be completed beforehand and brought to your appointment. If you do not have access to a computer/printer, please arrive ½ hour before your scheduled assessment.
- Bring any supporting documentation like medical records, police records, accident reports, or other records you want the neuropsychologist to review.
- Please eat before the appointment; the evaluation can last 4 to 8 hours. There will be no breaks offered during your examination.
- Please take your regularly prescribed medications, as scheduled. Avoid optional medications that cause drowsiness, such as pain killers, and anti-anxiety and allergy medications.
- Bring a current list of your medications and their dosages.
- Bring your reading glasses or hearing aids.
- Bring a valid photo ID.
- Allow extra time for parking and the check-in process. Your evaluation will start promptly at the scheduled time. Late arrival may result in rescheduling.
