About Cognitive Evaluation
A cognitive evaluation provides an objective measure of intellectual functioning, including verbal reasoning, visual-spatial abilities, working memory, and processing speed. At CPS, our psychologists use gold-standard instruments like the WAIS-V (adults) and WISC-V (children).
Cognitive evaluations serve many purposes — identifying intellectual disabilities, establishing giftedness, evaluating learning disabilities, supporting school placement decisions, and providing documentation for legal or disability proceedings.
Our psychologists interpret test results in the context of your full history, presenting concerns, and other assessment data. You receive a comprehensive report with clear explanations and actionable recommendations.

Dementia & Memory Concerns
Memory changes are scary — but 'is this normal aging, MCI, or dementia?' is a question we can actually answer. A neuropsychological evaluation gives the whole family something concrete to plan around.

A child (or adult) who is bright but struggling disproportionately with reading, writing, or math needs a real evaluation — not another year of 'let's wait and see.'
