Integrity, Informed, Service, Cost-Effective
CARS will achieve optimal health outcomes through cost-effective services that help facilitate clients and their families, health care providers and other professionals in making informed decisions.
We utilize a neuropsychological evaluation[NPE] testing method which provides data about a client’s cognitive, motor, behavioral, linguistic and executive functioning. The NPE data provides insight into effective treatment recommendations for the rehabilitation of impaired clients.
NPE helps measure many function categories, including:
- Academic achievement
- Language processing
- Visualspatial processing
- Attention/concentration
- Verbal learning and memory
- Visual learning and memory
- Executive functions
- Speed of processing
- Sensory-perceptual functions
- Motor speed and strength
- Motivation/symptom validity
- Personality assessment
Neuropsychological tests provide quantifiable data about these aspects of cognition:
- Reasoning and problem-solving ability
- Ability to understand and express language
- Working memory and attention
- Short-term and long-term memory
- Processing speed
- Visual-spatial organization
- Visual-motor coordination
- Planning, synthesizing and organizing abilities
