Lanesman & Sher Neuropsychology Claremont – Expert Neuropsychological Assessments

Lanesman & Sher Neuropsychology Claremont offers expert cognitive testing and assessments in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town. We focus on person-centered evaluations, using the latest brain research to guide our approach.

If you or a loved one struggle with cognitive or emotional difficulties, a neuropsychological assessment provides essential answers. It helps identify diagnoses and assess the severity of challenges. With this information, we develop recommendations for rehabilitation, treatment, or medico-legal purposes.

We believe assessments should feel supportive rather than overwhelming. That’s why we create a therapeutic experience that ensures you and your medical team receive the critical information you need. Throughout the process, we guide you step by step. Because we take a holistic approach, we consider how cognitive challenges affect daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.

Pediatric & Adolescent Assessments at Lanesman & Sher Neuropsychology Claremont

Children and adolescents face unique cognitive and emotional challenges, often affecting school performance and home life. Our assessments provide clarity by evaluating neurodevelopmental, psychological, and medical factors. Instead of looking at test scores in isolation, we gather additional information from school reports, caregiver and teacher interviews, and mental health professionals. This comprehensive approach helps us gain a complete understanding of each child’s needs.

In many cases, we integrate neuroimaging, bloodwork, and medical evaluations to get a clearer picture. By considering all relevant factors, we identify strengths and weaknesses. With these insights, we create tailored recommendations for treatment and support.

We assess a wide range of conditions, including:

• ADHD and other neurodevelopmental conditions
• Psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety
• Traumatic brain injury
• Epilepsy
• Cancer-related cognitive challenges
• Chronic illness affecting cognitive function

Adult & Geriatric Neuropsychological Testing

Many adults experience cognitive difficulties due to medical conditions, psychiatric disorders, or neurological changes. Our assessments help clarify diagnoses and guide medical teams in optimizing treatment. Rather than relying on assumptions, we conduct a thorough evaluation that includes clinical interviews, collateral reports, and standardized cognitive testing.

After completing the assessment, we hold a detailed feedback session. During this meeting, we explain the results, answer questions, and discuss next steps. You also receive a comprehensive report, which you can share with your medical team. This report provides valuable insights to refine treatment and improve daily functioning.

We offer assessments for:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Intellectual disability
• Epilepsy-related cognitive issues
• Psychiatric conditions such as bipolar disorder and psychotic disorders
• Memory difficulties and dementia evaluations
• ADHD in adults
• Stroke-related cognitive changes
• Personality shifts and behavioral changes
• Substance use and addiction-related cognitive effects
• Cognitive challenges following COVID-19
• Infectious or metabolic illnesses
• Other medical conditions affecting cognition and behavior
