Neuropsychology is a specialty branch of clinical psychology that studies how the brain and nervous system affect how we function. Neuropsychology seeks to understand how the various components of the brain do their jobs and makes use of various assessment methods to ascertain function and dysfunction and to apply this knowledge to evaluate, treat and rehabilitate individuals with suspected or demonstrated neurological or psychological problems. Results provide useful information to aid in diagnosing neurological conditions and establishing a baseline of current functioning that can be used as a marker to assess the progress of pharmacological, surgical, and rehabilitation efforts as well as determine the course of cerebral dysfunction and recovery. Neuropsychological testing can also help in planning and developing remedial education, rehabilitation and vocational programs and for obtaining school-based services, testing accommodations for college entrance examinations and accommodations in one's place of employment.
