autumn Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 hey, i was going to start a new topic but see this one is titled what i would titlttle it. i requested a neuropsychological evaluation due to my stuttering, harder time pulling words out my brian for complete sentences, lessening of verbal expressiveness, etc. this mostly due to ms, depression/mood disorder(secondary to ms) i have no idea if thise witll be beneficial or detrimental to me (knowing the va). but, no one at va wants to write what and why i have these issues so i asked for this exam to check it out. i see "wings" below explain some of this type of testing, anyone know other stuff about it? schedulaer did say to bring snack/meds/water due to it is like 4 hours long or so. i'll have to take meds just ot sit 4 hours and the stress of just being at a VA will increase. ok, i'm rampbling, sorry. just trying to get heads up of what to expect if any folks here know. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The younger vets tested for TBI will know! I do know that a simple battery (series) of simple tasks would include intelligence, memory, problem solving, etc. Do not try to hide your difficulties --its to your advantage to reproduce the symptoms you are having problems with at home and work. ~Wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
