Rehabilitation

After a neuropsychological assessment has been undertaken, being provided with a diagnosis or an understanding of what is happening is sufficient for some people. Others may prefer more follow-up and guidance with respect to potential remediation of their difficulties and/or implementation of strategies to help them tackle any ongoing difficulties.

After a neuropsychological assessment has been undertaken, being provided with a diagnosis or an understanding of what is happening is sufficient for some people.

Others may prefer more follow-up and guidance with respect to potential remediation of their difficulties and/or implementation of strategies to help them tackle any ongoing difficulties.

Guidance can be provided to both the affected individual and their carer (if appropriate). This can include:

  • assistance with strategies designed to address cognitive difficulties (for example, practical guidance concerning the use of alarms and reminders on a smart phone/tablet/diary or calendar);

  • guidance with cognitive remediation through the use of cognitively stimulating activities (e.g. computer- and/or internet-based games designed to enhance cognitive skills and other activities that improve cognition);

  • provision of information about cognitive problems and lifestyle factors that might affect thinking skills and cognitive capacity;

  • discussion of how the brain works and the effects of specific medical or psychiatric conditions on cognition.

 

Medicare rebates for rehabilitation/remediation sessions may be available if you have received a referral under a Mental Health Care plan from your GP, while private health insurance rebates are usually available for these sessions if you have ‘extras’ cover on your private health policy.

Referrer Information

Professor Foster's diverse international experience includes neuropsychological assessments undertaken with an extensive range of patient groups in a wide range of contexts including general hospitals, clinical suites, secure hospital facilities and prisons.

Patient Information

Neuropsychological assessment involves paper and pencil type and/or computer-based tests, questionnaires and more practical tests. The tests used are standardised (i.e. they have previously been given to a wide sample of people to provide comparison) and well researched. Testing is not physically invasive.
