At Vital Minds, we begin the neuropsychological evaluation process by having you or a family member submit the contact form below, or email our admin team. Please provide our care team with your name (if different from the patient), the patient’s legal name, the patient’s date of birth, and email. We will create your patient profile. You will receive a link that expires in 48-hours (for security reasons). Please watch your email for this link after submitting the required information.
You will need to register and create a login to the patient portal where there will be forms and documents that may take a few hours to fill out. You may be asked to provide family history, educational history, developmental history, medical history, visuospatial skills, nutritional habits, and sleep patterns. Remember, all forms need to be filled out completely before we can schedule your testing date.
Please notify us once all forms have been completed. The data you provide will help the doctor pre-select the tests that will be administered during your testing session. Also, please ask about any medications you are currently prescribed, as some medications can influence testing results.
Once all of the data from the intake process, questionnaires, and testing session has been compiled and processed, report writing will begin. The report will be an in-depth, data-driven analysis of the results, which we will review with you during a virtual feedback session. During this session, our doctor will explain the characteristics and/or behaviors observed, as well as provide recommendations to address weaknesses and help you get the answers you are looking for.

Neuropsychological assessments (also known as evaluations or testing) are valuable tools used to evaluate cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functions. During an appointment, a neuropsychologist will conduct an interview and perform a wide range of neuropsychological tests to assess areas such as memory, problem-solving, mood, and executive functions.
These tests help inform the clinician about brain function and can help diagnose conditions like neurological disorders or cognitive impairments. The assessment involves understanding your strengths and weaknesses, motor skills, and cognition. Based on test results, the neuropsychologist may recommend treatment options or refer you to other specialists, such as a neurologist or psychiatrist, to address the diagnosis and improve symptoms.
Our neuropsychologist will write an extensive report and schedule an appointment to discuss and share the results. It's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to schedule a follow-up appointment and discuss recommendations for medication or therapy.
Test results also help inform the appropriate course of action to manage and improve areas identified by our doctors. Comprehensive assessments typically take several hours. If you have any concerns or need more information, please email us, and we will be happy to answer your questions.
