Dr. Dowell – Clinical Services
Clinical Services
The mission of Neuropsychological Services is provision of comprehensive consultation, assessment and intervention services that utilize a holistic view of the individual to facilitate understanding of “neuro” (brain-related) and “psychological” (environmental, historical, etc.) factors along with moderator variables that mediate the expression of presenting problems/symptoms.
Consultation/assessment services:
- Mirror and respond to the needs of our community

- actively incorporate a multidisciplinary team approach (i.e., family, physicians, schools, etc.)
- result in development of intervention plans via comprehensive reports
- provide a mechanism for evaluation/monitoring of the effects of treatments and interventions
