Clinical Neuropsychology

Clinical Neuropsychologists work with individuals who have had brain injuries, assessing how their injuries have affected their current thinking abilities i.e. attention, memory, and problem solving skills. Clinical Psychologist's then develop strategies to assist the individual to cope with these problems. Furthermore, they work with the individual and their families to adapt to the emotional and psychological impact of life after brain injury.
