Neuropsychological Assessment for Adults
A neuropsychological assessment helps identify your cognitive strengths, challenges, and needs in order to clarify a diagnosis and provide recommendations tailored to your situation.
A neuropsychological assessment establishes an adult’s cognitive profile—including their strengths and weaknesses—identifies the causes of their cognitive, behavioral, or emotional difficulties, clarifies a diagnosis or formulates diagnostic impressions, and provides recommendations tailored to their needs.
The assessment is carried out using psychometric tests that examine different functions supported by the brain, such as attention, executive functions, reasoning, language, memory and learning abilities.
At Clinique Médicale 360, the assessment takes place in a caring setting, at the adult’s own pace, at our Mile-Ex location.
Most common reasons for a consultation in adults
- Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Giftedness
- Intellectual Developmental Disorder

Assessment process
The assessment is carried out in several stages to obtain a complete picture.
- Before the assessment meeting: complete the questionnaires and submit relevant documents (previous reports, etc.)
- Assessment meeting(s): lasting 4 to 6 hours, including a medical history (case history) and the administration of targeted neuropsychological tests based on the reason for the consultation
- Correction of tests and analysis of information collected by the neuropsychologist
- Debriefing meeting to discuss the results and recommendations. Spouses or other loved ones are invited to join. The neuropsychological assessment report is also provided at this stage.
