Assessments of Capacity

These involve assessing an individual’s capacity to understand, retain, use and communicate information relevant to a particular decision or situation. Assessments of capacity usually require the administration of a range of tests of cognitive ability that include measures of intellect, comprehension and memory. This information is then considered in association with that obtained from interviewing the client and, on occasions, others involved in their care.

The information above is a simple overview to give a flavour of the sort of work undertaken. If you have any questions or simply want to discuss whether a psychological assessment might be helpful for you or your client do not hesitate to get in touch.

The Benefits
