Division 40: Clinical Neuropsychology

Division 40: Clinical Neuropsychology is a specialty within psychology focused on assessing and treating individuals with brain-related conditions. Neuropsychologists evaluate how brain injuries, illnesses, or developmental issues affect thinking, memory, language, and behavior. They use tests and interviews to identify strengths and challenges, helping to diagnose conditions like concussion, stroke, or dementia. Treatments may include cognitive rehabilitation to improve functioning. The goal is to understand the impact of brain health on daily life and support recovery or adaptation strategies, working closely with medical teams to ensure comprehensive care.
