Our Services

Neuropsychological Assessment

Our neuropsychological assessment is a comprehensive battery of nationally used, standardized tests conducted with the aims of:

• Extensively assessing and quantifying a wide range of cognitive functions in persons with known or suspected brain pathology
• Assessing neurobehavioral and emotional functions in persons with known or suspected brain pathology
• Educating patients and families about the functional effects of conditions affecting the brain
• Assisting the physician in identifying and determining the relative contributions of potential differential diagnoses or comorbidities that may affect the person
• Tracking changes (progress or decline) in cognitive, emotional, and neurobehavioral functioning over time
• Assisting the physician in formulating treatment and rehabilitation recommendations.

Common referral diagnoses can include:

• Neurodegenerative disorders and dementias (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Vascular, Parkinson’s)
• Other brain injury and neurological conditions (e.g., stroke, concussions, moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury; etc.)

Individual & Group Psychotherapy and Cognitive Rehabilitation

Our neuropsychologists provide evidence-based psychotherapy and cognitive rehabilitation for individuals with brain injury who have difficulty adjusting to their disability and those who have difficulty with cognitive functions such as attention, memory, executive functioning, and emotional and/or behavior regulation.

Specialized NeuroRehabilitation Day Treatment Program

This intense therapy program is led by the neuropsychologist to address cognitive, emotional, and neurobehavioral challenges after brain injury. The neuropsychologist will work with an interdisciplinary team of brain injury certified clinicians (OT, ST, PT, Case Management) to better formulate and implement evidence-based treatments in order to maximize outcome potential. The Day Treatment Program includes:

• Close case management follow-up and support
• Individual therapies
• Group therapies (Cognitive, Life Skills, and Neuropsychology groups led by a specialized cognitive rehabilitation neuropsychologist)
• Weekly neuropsychology sessions to address individual and family needs

Post-Concussion Syndrome

The neuropsychologist leads the interdisciplinary team in managing persistent symptoms of concussion (for patients who are at least 3 months post-injury). Services include neuropsychological consult, assessment, and individual and group treatment as indicated. The neuropsychologist works with the treatment team including speech therapy, vision therapy, vestibular and physical therapy to provide evidence-based treatment of Post-Concussion Syndrome (sometimes abbreviated as PCS).

Resource Facilitation: Return to Work | School | Life

RHI is a statewide provider of Resource Facilitation for Brain Injury, which is an evidence-based service to help people return to school or work after a brain injury. We can provide the assistance needed to help navigate potential participants through the Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation eligibility process.
