cognitive assessments with doctor jo

A cognitive assessment measures an individual’s general thinking and reasoning abilities and overall intellectual functioning. This can be particularly helpful for neurodivergent people because they often have a 'spiky' profile - where a person shows strengths in some areas and has notable challenges in others. The results are determined by assessing a combination of processes that are involved in almost every aspect of a person’s daily life. Cognitive abilities tend to remain stable throughout an individual’s life. If difficulties are present academically or with engaging effectively in work, a cognitive assessment is likely to offer helpful insights.
