The neuropsychological assessment process begins with a thorough clinical interview to gather information on the individual's exposure history, medical background, and current symptoms. This is followed by the administration of various standardized tests that assess different cognitive domains. The choice of tests is guided by the suspected type of toxic exposure and the symptoms presented by the individual. Once testing is complete, the neuropsychologist analyzes the results to identify patterns of cognitive strengths and weaknesses, which can indicate specific areas of neurological damage.
