Neuropsychologists have become key experts in childcare assessments and litigating head injury cases. Test results often provide the only objective data in cases of minor or moderate head injury. It is well known that such injuries persist despite normal electroencephalograms (EEGs), x-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and other diagnostic tests.
The assessment often includes a comparison of the person's premorbid (pre-injury) capabilities with current condition as well as a prognosis for the future this information can be of significant benefit to the patient with head injury and their legal team.
