Neuropsychological assessment

A neuropsychological assessment is a structured evaluation that measures functions such as memory, attention, language and reasoning, to understand cognitive functioning and guide the most appropriate support. It's useful for learning difficulties, attention disorders, brain injury or memory complaints, and results in a clear report with practical recommendations. Available in person in Aveiro.

What it can look like

  • Memory complaints, frequent forgetfulness or disorientation.
  • Difficulties with attention, concentration or organisation.
  • Learning difficulties or school performance below what's expected.
  • Cognitive changes after stroke, head injury or neurological illness.
  • Suspected ADHD, dyslexia or other neurodevelopmental conditions.
  • A report needed for school, work or medical follow-up.

How I work with it

My work in neuropsychology has two complementary strands: assessment and intervention/rehabilitation.

In assessment, I use validated, age-appropriate instruments to map cognitive functioning rigorously. The goal isn’t just to produce numbers, but to understand the person in their context and translate the results into useful, concrete guidance.

In intervention, when indicated, we work on specific abilities — attention, memory, organisation, compensatory strategies — with a personalised plan. Throughout the process I aim to:

  • Answer questions and ease the anxiety that assessment can bring.
  • Involve the family, school or other professionals whenever it helps.
  • Provide practical recommendations you can apply day to day.

The result is a clear picture of cognitive functioning and a concrete path to support it.

What to expect

  • An initial interview to understand the concerns, history and goals of the assessment.
  • Testing sessions with validated instruments (memory, attention, executive function, etc.).
  • Analysis of the results and a clear, personalised written report.
  • A feedback session: explanation of the results and practical recommendations.

Frequently asked questions

What is a neuropsychological assessment for?
It objectively maps how different cognitive abilities are working — memory, attention, language, executive function. It helps clarify diagnoses, guide interventions, support educational or clinical decisions, and monitor change over time.
How long does the whole process take?
It varies with the reason and the person's age, but it usually involves the initial interview, one to three testing sessions, and the feedback session with the report. In the first appointment I explain the estimate for your case.
Is it for children and adults?
My practice focuses on the adult population - adults and older adults - using instruments suited to each age and question.
Do I receive a report at the end?
Yes. At the end you receive a clear written report with practical recommendations, which can be shared with the school, doctor or other professionals, and we hold a session to explain the results.
Is intervention included too?
Assessment and intervention are complementary services. After the assessment, where indicated, we can design a neuropsychological intervention or rehabilitation plan based on the results.
