Traumatic Brain Injury Evaluations

Assessment of cognitive and functional changes following concussion or other traumatic brain injury to help clarify diagnosis and guide rehabilitation planning.

About This Evaluation

Traumatic brain injuries can affect memory, attention, processing speed, executive functioning, mood, and functioning. A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation helps clarify the nature, severity, and functional impact of cognitive changes following traumatic brain injury.

Mild brain injuries affect cognition for a limited period of time. A neuropsychological evaluation helps distinguish injury-related cognitive effects from other contributing factors and provides objective clinical insight into how cognitive functioning has been affected.

At Jefferson Neurobehavioral Group, we conduct TBI evaluations to clarify diagnosis, define cognitive strengths and weaknesses, and provide clear, objective clinical documentation.

When This Evaluation Is Appropriate

A TBI evaluation may be appropriate when there is:

A history of traumatic brain injury with ongoing cognitive, emotional, or functional concerns
Persistent changes in memory, attention, or concentration following injury
Cognitive changes affecting work, school, or day-to-day functioning
A need for return-to-work or return-to-school planning after injury
Referral from a physician, neurologist, rehabilitation specialist, or other medical provider
A need for objective clinical findings or documentation in medico-legal contexts

What the Evaluation Examines

Traumatic brain injury evaluations examine cognitive abilities, injury history, reported symptoms, and changes in functioning following concussion or other traumatic brain injury to clarify the nature and impact of cognitive changes.

The evaluation typically includes review of injury history and relevant medical records, a clinical interview to understand symptoms and recovery course, and standardized neuropsychological testing to measure cognitive abilities.

Areas commonly assessed include attention, memory, processing speed, and executive functioning.

Clinical & Documentation Uses

TBI evaluations may be used to support:

Diagnostic clarification of cognitive changes
Treatment and rehabilitation planning
Physician and specialist coordination
Functional and disability documentation
Workplace or academic accommodations
Independent clinical or medico-legal evaluations

Evaluation reports can provide clear, objective findings that can be meaningfully used by healthcare providers, rehabilitation teams, attorneys, and other professionals involved in care or decision-making.
