One additional benefit: my partner’s evaluation not only identified the cognitive areas where she struggles, but also pinpointed areas where her cognitive abilities remain strong. For example, her reading comprehension score is super-high, although complex thinking, planning, sequencing, and multi-tasking (executive function) are impaired. This diagnostic info is helpful to both of us as we figure out how to adapt activities of daily life to be less frustrating. Each person’s cognition is unique and an in-depth evaluation can bring out the specifics.
