Clinical care , including neuropsychology consultations for inpatients and outpatients, is provided by the neuropsychology specialists and psychometrician staff. A broad range of clinical and professional services are available through the Neuropsychology Service, rounding out the comprehensive care of patients with neurological disorders. Existing evaluation programs have been enhanced and expanded, and are now available for patients of all ages from infancy through geriatrics. Treatment programs for patients with neurological injury or disease are also available. Since changes in cognitive functioning can have an impact on vocational, family, and personal functioning, a treatment program has been initiated.
Treatment focuses on improving adaptive functioning primarily through compensatory strategies.
The goal of treatment is to maximize patients' adjustment to persisting deficits so as to increase functioning in everyday life. Supportive counseling for patients and their families to help deal with adjustment issues is also available. All rights reserved. Comments or suggestions to the site editor .
