HG Doctors provides comprehensive neuropsychological testing in Hallandale Beach, Florida, delivered by licensed neuropsychologists. Neuropsychological testing evaluates how the brain is functioning by measuring areas like memory, attention, language, learning, processing speed, and problem-solving. These evaluations help identify the cause of cognitive or behavioral changes and guide clear next steps for treatment, school or workplace accommodations, and care planning.
We offer neuropsychological evaluations for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, and our neuropsychologists are bilingual (English & Spanish) to ensure accurate, culturally competent testing.
Conditions Commonly Evaluated
- Memory loss and cognitive decline – For individuals who are forgetting appointments, repeating questions, misplacing items often, or struggling with daily tasks and independence.
- Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias – Helps distinguish normal aging from Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and other neurodegenerative conditions.
- ADHD (children, teens, and adults) – Evaluates attention, impulsivity, executive functioning, and whether symptoms are due to ADHD or another cause (sleep issues, anxiety, depression, etc.).
- Learning disabilities – Identifies challenges such as dyslexia (reading), dysgraphia (writing), and dyscalculia (math), and provides recommendations for support and accommodations.
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) – Assesses cognitive, behavioral, and social functioning to support diagnostic clarity and individualized planning.
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion – Measures the cognitive impact after head injury from sports, falls, or accidents and supports return-to-work or return-to-school planning.
- Stroke and neurological conditions – Evaluates changes after stroke or other neurological events and helps guide rehabilitation recommendations.
- Mood and anxiety conditions affecting cognition – Determines whether attention, memory, or concentration problems are primarily medical/neurological versus related to depression, anxiety, PTSD, or stress.
- Capacity and decision-making concerns – Assesses ability to make informed decisions (medical, financial, independent living) when safety or legal issues are involved.
Types of Neuropsychological Testing We Offer
Cognitive & Intellectual Testing
Assesses overall cognitive ability (often called IQ), reasoning, problem-solving, and processing speed. This testing helps identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses and is often used for diagnostic clarity, academic planning, and establishing a baseline for future comparison.
Memory & Learning Assessments
Evaluates short-term and long-term memory, verbal and visual learning, and recall. This is commonly used when patients report forgetfulness, difficulty learning new information, or changes in memory over time.
Attention & Executive Function Testing (ADHD)
Measures focus, sustained attention, mental flexibility, planning, organization, working memory, and impulse control. This evaluation helps diagnose ADHD and also identifies other issues that can mimic ADHD symptoms, such as anxiety, sleep problems, or depression.
Learning Disability & Academic Achievement Testing
Assessments of reading, writing, math skills, and learning processes to identify learning disorders (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia). Results can support recommendations for tutoring, targeted interventions, and school accommodations such as IEP or 504 plans.
Neurodevelopmental Evaluations
Evaluates cognitive development, behavioral functioning, and learning patterns in children and adolescents. These assessments help clarify developmental concerns and guide practical recommendations for home, school, and therapy supports.
Brain Injury & Concussion Testing
Assesses cognitive and emotional changes after concussion or traumatic brain injury, including attention, memory, processing speed, and symptoms that affect daily functioning. Findings support treatment planning and safe return to work, school, and activity.
Emotional & Personality Assessment
Evaluates emotional functioning, mood patterns, coping style, and psychological symptoms that may impact thinking and behavior. This helps differentiate cognitive issues caused by medical/neurological factors versus emotional or psychiatric factors.
Dementia & Neurodegenerative Disorder Evaluations
A comprehensive evaluation that measures patterns of cognitive change and functional impact. It helps clarify whether symptoms suggest Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, or other neurodegenerative conditions, and supports care planning.
Capacity & Decision-Making Evaluations
Assesses a person’s ability to understand information, appreciate consequences, reason through choices, and communicate decisions. These evaluations can be helpful for medical decision-making, independent living concerns, guardianship questions, or safety planning.
Bilingual Neuropsychological Testing (English & Spanish)
HG Doctors offers neuropsychological testing in both English and Spanish, performed by bilingual neuropsychologists. Language plays a major role in cognitive testing. Completing an evaluation in the patient’s primary language helps ensure results reflect true cognitive functioning—not language barriers—and supports more accurate diagnoses and recommendations.
