Cognitive Testing

Concerns about thinking, learning, or memory often lead individuals to seek clarity about their cognitive functioning. Because difficulties in these areas can arise from multiple causes, such as neurodevelopmental conditions, mood or anxiety disorders, medical issues, or normal variability in cognitive skills, a structured cognitive evaluation allows for an objective assessment of how you reason, remember, and process information. Our process offers a clear explanation of cognitive strengths and challenges and guides evidence-based recommendations for support.

Consultation & Preparation

The assessment process begins with an initial consultation to clarify your concerns, goals, and background. This meeting helps determine the most appropriate type of evaluation, guides the selection of research-backed testing measures, and ensures the testing process is tailored to your specific needs.

ALPS Cognitive Testing Overview

Interview & Testing

Through structured interviews and a targeted battery of standardized tests, we work to understand both your challenges and unique strengths. Our clinicians use evidence-based tools to evaluate each aspect of cognitive functioning, enabling us to create a meaningful, personalized profile of how you think and perform.

Feedback & Planning

Feedback sessions provide a detailed explanation of your results, including diagnostic conclusions and research-supported recommendations. The goal is to ensure findings are understandable, useful, and directly connected to your ongoing care or decision-making.

  1. Clear understanding of cognitive strengths and weaknesses – Insight into how you problem-solve, reason, remember information, and process new material across standardized cognitive domains.

  2. Objective data on intellectual functioning – Formal testing (e.g., reasoning, verbal comprehension, visual-spatial skills, working memory, and processing speed) to provide a reliable profile of your cognitive abilities.

  3. Evidence-based recommendations – Tailored strategies to support learning, workplace functioning, organization, memory, and skill development based on your specific cognitive profile.

  4. Guidance for next steps – Recommendations for academic supports, workplace accommodations, therapy, coaching, or medical consultation, depending on what may best support your goals.

  5. Documentation for accommodations – A detailed report that can support academic or workplace accommodations (e.g., extended time, organizational supports, modified workload) when indicated.

  6. Practical insight for daily functioning – Personalized feedback to help you understand how to use your strengths effectively, reduce areas of challenge, and improve functioning in school, work, and everyday life.
