Neuropsychological Services Comprehensive Neuropsychological Assessment Neuropsychological assessment typically involves 3-4 hours of face to face contact. This includes a detailed clinical interview and comprehensive testing of cognitive abilities (e.g., intelligence, memory, learning and executive functions) using standardised tests and questions. Opinion regarding diagnosis / prognosis and treatment recommendations are provided in a 6-8 page report. Cost: Depending on the referral question, complexity of the case and purpose of the assessment, cost of assessment and a detailed report ranges from $1200 to $2500. Abbreviated Neuropsychological Testing In cases where a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment is impractical or unaffordable, abbreviated neuropsychological testing provides information about general level of cognitive functioning, including memory and executive functioning, and may reveal areas of gross dysfunction.
