Under the direction of licensed psychologists, the Neuropsychometrist assists in the differential diagnosis for patients with known or suspected neurological disorders affecting cerebral functioning. The neuropsychometrist administers, scores, and summarizes a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests that is one portion of the neuropsychologist's assessment of a patient's mental status. The Neuropsychometrist administers and scores a large number of complex standardized test instruments appropriate for specific age and clinical populations, ranging in age from preschool to very senior citizens. Clinical problems encountered are of a moderate to high level of complexity and require an unusual degree of judgment, personal flexibility and resourcefulness in decision-making. The neuropsychometrist make determinations concerning whether patients are capable of responding to assessment protocols in collaboration with the attending neuropsychologist, and must be innovative in testing severely disabled, emotionally disturbed, hearing impaired or non-English speaking patients while still adhering to standardized procedures. The neuropsychometrist interacts directly with medical and other professional faculty/staff in their discussions of any medical condition or other physical limitations the patient may have which must be taken into account to obtain reliable and valid data and to maximize patient comfort and safety.
