Clinical neuropsychologists specialize in psychological disorders associated with or caused by brain-based conditions. For example, they study and treat cognitive and behavioral issues caused by stroke, dementia, or other brain injuries. They also work with patients who have a learning disorder or who is on the Autism Spectrum. As a clinical neuropsychologist, you evaluate and diagnose patients, then create a treatment plan, which may include therapy, medication, or surgery. You may also work closely with the patient’s family to educate them on how they can utilize therapy techniques with the patient at home. Some clinical neuropsychologists focus on research and finding new developments and treatment options for patients.
