DR. DANOV NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST P.C. - 5 boroughs
Pediatric and adult neuropsychological testing for children and adults with various neurological disorders, such as memory loss, concentration loss, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, dementia, hypertension or high blood pressure, mild cognitive impairment or MCI, stroke or CVA, encephalities, meningitis, brain injury, autism, developmental delay, asperger's disorder, ADHD, ADD, seizure disorder, epilepsy disorders, endocrine disorders, neuro-toxic poisoning and exposure, oxygen deprivation or hypoxia and anoxia, and others. Also psychoeducational evaluation to diagnose learning disabilities and mental retardation. IQ testing for gifted chidlren who wish to apply to the gifted programs.
Parents also seek a neuropsychological evaluation for their children to determine whether they are gifted and talented. Gifted and talented children often benefit from an educational setting specifically designed for gifted and talented children (Gifted And Talented Education / Talented And Gifted).
Adults with various neurological and neuro-psychiatric disorders are often required to
undergo a neuropsychological evaluation to support their disability claim.
Those children and adults, who sustained a brain injury in an auto accident (MVA), slip and fall accident, or during a physical attack are also recommended to undergo a neuropsychological evaluation to
determine which neuro-cognitive abilities remained uninjured and which abilities have been injured and impaired in such accident.
Neuropsychological evaluation assesses symptom exaggeration, extent of post- accident brain injury or disability, and the types and severity of neurocognitive disorders. Serial
neuropsychological evaluations can track progressive decline and monitor response to
treatment.
Evaluation can also help to differentiate various disorders. Upon the completion of the testing, we diagnose children and adults with various cognitive and developmental disorders, learning disabilities, dementia, post- accident brain injury, ADHD, and other neuro- cognitive disorders.
If you do not currently suffer from a cognitive disorder and did not sustain a brain injury in an
accident, you can greatly benefit from a BASELINE neuropsychological evaluation by
determining your current cognitive status. This evaluation is a critical piece of information
needed in case you develop memory loss and cognitive disorder in the future, whether it is
accident related or neurodegenerative condition. Comparison to your previously normal level of functioning will allow to determine precisely how much of a cognitive decline you have
developed brain injury related cognitive decline, neuropsychological testing will objectively measure and document this injury.
Cognitive rehabilitation is offered to improve, re-train, and rehabilitate memory, attention, organization, processing, reasoning, and thinking skills that have been injured or did not properly develop.
