As part of Cooper’s Neurological Institute, our neuropsychology team specializes in understanding the connection between a person’s brain (structures/functions) and the way that person thinks, feels, or behaves. Certain illnesses and injuries can affect this connection and lead to problems with cognitive functions such as attention, comprehension, learning and memory, speech and language, visual-spatial reasoning, problem solving, and judgment. Brain changes may result in frustration, stress, or other emotional difficulties, which can also affect cognition. Similarly, anxiety and stress can themselves mimic brain changes. The goal of comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation is to understand a person’s unique cognitive and social-emotional functioning to help diagnose a condition, determine an appropriate treatment plan, and/or evaluate a person’s surgical candidacy.
Patients (adults age 18+) with known or suspected neurologic disorders (e.g., dementia, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, brain tumor, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, etc.) may be referred to our team via Epic. Once a referral is made, patients can call 856.667.3330 to schedule an appointment. Please note: Neuropsychological evaluations are not considered medically necessary for learning disorders or ADD/ADHD, so testing for these conditions is not typically covered by insurance.
Please contact Merin Campbell, PsyD, at campbell-merin@cooperhealth.edu to determine whether neuropsychological evaluation would be appropriate for and/or beneficial to a particular patient, or to learn more about the service.
