Attorneys over the years have relay upon us to interpret results, to integrate this results with interviews, presented case history, records, and other sources of information. In cases involving head injury, for example, neuropsychology assessment may determine the true extent of a person's impairment.

  • Sort out complex data from which clinical inferences are derived into manageable, understandable categories.
