Young Adult Neuropsychological Assessments

Ages 18-22

The transition to adulthood brings new academic, social, and independent-living demands — and for many young adults, this is when questions about ADHD or autism spectrum traits first come into clear focus, even if they were missed or minimized earlier in life. At Springboard, we evaluate cognitive and emotional functioning to identify strengths and challenges, supporting clear next steps for college, career, and independent living.

Who We Evaluate

Our young adult neuropsychological evaluations are designed for individuals navigating the transition to adulthood, including questions related to: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), particularly when it was missed or never formally diagnosed earlier in life; Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and social-communication differences; and broader difficulties adjusting to the increased academic, social, and independent-living demands of college, career, or early adulthood.

Our young adult neuropsychological assessments are designed to provide a detailed understanding of cognitive and emotional functioning.

Here's what you can expect:

  • Clinical Interview

    We gather detailed background information from the young adult and, if applicable, their parents or guardians.

  • Neuropsychological Testing

    We use standardized tests to assess cognitive domains such as memory, attention, executive function, and problem-solving skills. Additionally, the patient will complete standardized ratings of psychological and behavioral status.

  • Assessment of Psychological Functioning

    We also screen for co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other psychiatric concerns including OCD, disruptive behavior disorders, or personality disorders.  

  • Collateral Information

    If available, I analyze previous medical, neuropsychological, and educational records to provide context. I have also tailored specific intake questionnaires for the young adult's parents to understand early developmental history and current concerns from their perspective.

  • Feedback Session

    We discuss the findings and provide recommendations for interventions, accommodations, and support.
