Traumatic Brain Injury
& Concussions

A concussion evaluation for a traumatic brain injury (TBI) involves a physical exam, neurological exam, and imaging tests. The evaluation also includes a review of your medical history and symptoms.
‍
Our doctors evaluate the neuropsychological skills (i.e. memory, reaction time, and attention) of the concussed athlete. They then work closely with the treating physician or athletic trainer to determine when it's safe for the athlete to return to play.

Dr. Kirk has been credentialed as an independent concussion expert through the National Hockey League (NHL) and Major League Soccer (MLS). He currently serves as a consulting neuropsychologist for the Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Rapids, to assist with return to play decision making after an athlete has sustained a concussion.

ADHD & Learning Disabilities

ADHD and learning disabilities are developmental conditions that individuals are born with, but this doesn’t mean you need to face ongoing struggles in school or at work. If you have been diagnosed with ADHD or a learning disability, your school or employer may be legally required to provide reasonable accommodations to support your success. Additionally, you may be eligible for accommodations on standardized tests and licensing exams.We specialize in neuropsychological evaluations for ADHD and learning disabilities in both teenagers and adults. Our comprehensive approach combines psychological testing, behavioral observations, and consultations with teachers and schools to ensure an accurate diagnosis and provide personalized recommendations for accommodations and treatment.Academic accommodations, such as extended time, additional breaks, or a quiet testing environment, can create a more equitable opportunity for you to demonstrate your true abilities and achieve your full potential.

Autism

A neuropsychological evaluation involves cognitive and achievement testing, as well as further specialized testing of memory, attention, and executive function, to pinpoint a child's abilities and deficits in learning and communicating.

We provide an efficient way for patients and their caregivers to see a range of experts in autism spectrum disorders, including psychologists, developmental pediatricians, speech therapists and other specialists.

Neuropsychological Evaluations

A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation is essential if you are experiencing unexplained memory or cognitive problems or if you’re diagnosed with a neurological condition. Neuropsychological testing can help you in several ways:
We can help identify your strengths and weaknesses in various areas of cognitive functioning. For example, neuropsychological testing can help determine if memory changes or difficulties with attention or concentration are normal, age-related, or due to a neurological disorder.
We can help you and your physicians differentiate between various neurological and psychological conditions. Neurological and psychological conditions have different patterns of strength and weaknesses on neuropsychological tests. The results will help identify which areas of the brain are involved and provide an accurate diagnosis.
Neuropsychological testing can be used to establish a “baseline”. This can help identify your skills and cognitive abilities before there is a serious problem. This can be helpful for athletes who play contact sports or those who are at risk for developing Dementia.

Physchoeducational Evaluations

A psycho-educational evaluation is a thorough assessment of a student's cognitive, academic, and socio-emotional functioning. These evaluations play a key role in determining a student's eligibility for special education services and guide the type of support and related services they will receive. Typically, psycho-educational evaluations are standardized, meaning the student's performance is compared to that of peers of the same age and gender. However, it's important to note that school districts may use additional or alternative assessments to ensure they fully understand and address the unique needs of the student.
