The Division of Neuropsychology offers a wide range of adult outpatient neuropsychological assessment services. Our highly trained staff is skilled in assessing persons referred for a variety of conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy body, frontotemporal lobe dementia, mild cognitive impairment, brain tumors, epilepsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury, pre/post-surgical evaluation and a host of other neurological conditions. 

Persons referred to Neuropsychology receive a complete evaluation of many areas of cognitive functioning, including:

  • Intelligence and academic skills                           
  • Problem-solving and conceptualization                                                        
  • Planning and organization
  • Memory, learning and attention
  • Language and speech
  • Perceptual and motor abilities
  • Personality, emotions and behavior

The Division of Neuropsychology offers outpatient neuropsychological assessment support to neurologists, neurosurgeons and other physicians within the University of Alabama at Birmingham Medical Center, as well as to referring physicians in the surrounding community and nationwide. The Division also provides comprehensive pre- and post-operative neuropsychological assessments for the UAB Epilepsy Center's surgery program and the UAB Movement Disorder’s Deep Brain Stimulation surgery program.
