Ray’s assessment findings

Ray was assessed by the neuropsychologist. Click on the links on the following pages to find out how Ray performed on some of the assessment tasks and to have a go at some yourself. At the end of each task there is an explanation of what processes the assessment is trying to tap into.

Please note that these ‘assessments’ are for illustration purposes only, they have not been validated and under no circumstances should they be attempted with patients.
