Neuropsychology identifies difficulties with cognition and behavior caused by a condition or injury affecting the brain. Cognitive problems involve attention, memory, and problem-solving. Behavioral issues are related to emotions and personality.

We perform in-depth neuropsychological evaluations and plan treatments, therapies, and support for you, and your family. Neuropsychological tests may include:

• Attention and concentration
• Executive functioning
• Intellectual functioning
• Language processing
• Visuospatial functioning
• Visual and verbal learning and memory
• Personality and emotional development
• Processing speed
• Sensory-perceptual functions

If you have problems controlling emotions, staying focused, or thinking clearly due to known or surgical brain injury or disease, the University of Miami Health System can help.
