Neuropsych testing

[groovetta]

Can someone tell me the specific names of neuropsych testing tools or screenings that would be involved in a neuropsych testing?

Neuropsych testing is done by a neuropsychologist rather than by nurses. The specific tests and screeners are going to depend on what is being clarified and context of evaluation. (e.g. different screeners may be used if this is a person facing murder charges and there is concerns for malingered cognitive deficits compared to an 11 year old needing evaluation for an individualized education plan and accommodations at school).
