What may be investigated

A broad assessment guided by the question in each case.

Attention

Sustained, selective, alternating and divided attention, as well as the impact of distractions and processing speed.

Executive functions

Planning, cognitive flexibility, inhibition, monitoring and organization to reach goals.

Comprehension, expression, word retrieval and the use of language in cognitive tasks and daily situations.

A structured clinical process

An assessment is not the same test battery for every person.

The clinical question guides instrument selection. The process may include interviews, psychological tests approved for professional use in Brazil, observation, and information from family, school or other professionals when relevant and authorized.
