Cognitive Assessment

What is Cognitive Ability:
Cognitive ability refers to the mental skills necessary for thinking, learning, and understanding. This includes memory, attention, problem-solving, and reasoning. An assessment of cognitive ability can provide insight into how well someone processes and understands information.

Why an assessment might be necessary:
Assessing cognitive ability is helpful if there are concerns about how a child or adult processes information, learns new things, or solves problems. It can reveal strengths and areas of difficulty, guiding educational and therapeutic interventions to support learning and development.

A Cognitive Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's mental functions, including memory, reasoning, problem-solving, attention, and language skills. These assessments are typically conducted using standardized tests and provide insights into an individual’s cognitive strengths and weaknesses, which can help identify conditions like learning disabilities or cognitive impairments.

Typical assessment process includes:

- Clinical interview

- Cognitive assessment

- Report and report feedback
