Explain the Indications for neuropsychological screening

• Nature of referral question warrants it.
• Situational explanation for changes in emotions or cognitive functioning cannot be readily identified;
• A medical or injury condition is suspected to have impacted brain health (for example, compromised circulation, chronically poor nutrition, or drug toxicity);
• Any relatively sudden, unexpected, and unaccounted for changes appear in mental or cognitive performance that impacts work or daily functioning;
• Gradual or sudden onset of unusual physical, sensory, or motor changes (an examination by a physician is always indicated in these instances, as well);
• An individual fails to improve with special educational or therapeutic interventions designed to address a specific mental or cognitive problem.
• Feasibility issue (e.g. time, cost, etc.)
