Standardized rating scales
We gather information from multiple perspectives (e.g., self-report, parents, partners) to see how cognitive and emotional symptoms appear in different settings.
-
Neuropsychological testing
Direct, one-on-one testing to comprehensively measure a full range of cognitive abilities, including attention, memory, executive functions (e.g., planning, problem-solving), language, and visuospatial skills, to understand how the brain is functioning.
