An initial assessment for a traumatic brain injury will likely take place within the hospital following the accident which caused the injury. A clinical psychologist or neuropsychologist will carry various assessments and/or brain scans to identify the affected areas of the brain.
At HSR Psychology, we carry out assessments to identify specific areas of need an individual may have. We identify needs in relation to:
An assessment can include any of the following:
Our psychologists would likely carry out a full cognitive assessment that provides comprehensive information to create a profile of a child or young person’s strengths and needs. Cognitive assessments may have been carried out within the hospital, and cannot be repeated within a specific time frame. If this is the case then we would use different assessments, or a different cognitive assessment.
A clinical interview would involve one of our team members speaking with the child, young person and the adults around them to understand their life as a whole. Clinical interviews provide necessary information to plan and implement a holistic intervention.
Observations allow our team to see the child or young person within their day to day life and assess social interactions and behaviour which may not be seen during a psychometric assessment.
Our psychologists or psychotherapists will determine the specific assessments to be used following an initial discussion.
After we have assessed for needs relating to a traumatic brain injury, you will receive a report which will highlight areas of need. Following the report, we will have an opportunity for discussion regarding the outcome of the assessment, as well as whether further interventions are required.
The HSR Psychology Team provide a range of holistic and bespoke interventions which target identified areas of need related to a traumatic brain injury, including:

There is no average cost for an assessment for needs related to a stroke as there are so many possibilities for an assessment. Following an Initial Discussion, we will be able to provide a quotation and a recommendation summary which includes a plan for our input.
