Assessment for Memory Issues
in Houma, LA

Understanding Memory Issues
Memory issues refer to any difficulty with the brain’s ability to store, retain, or recall information effectively. These concerns can manifest as challenges with short-term recall, learning new information, or retrieving past experiences. Our assessments aim to differentiate between normal age-related cognitive changes and more significant conditions impacting memory.
Your Assessment Process
Initial Consultation & History
We begin with a detailed clinical interview to gather your medical history, educational background, and specific memory concerns. This step helps us understand the timeline and impact of your memory challenges on daily life. We may also review relevant school or medical records to inform the assessment.
Comprehensive Testing
Our experienced psychologists administer various standardized tests designed to evaluate different aspects of memory and cognitive function. This comprehensive testing may be conducted in-person or via secure telehealth, depending on the specific tests required. The goal is to obtain a complete picture of your cognitive strengths and areas needing support.
Detailed Report & Diagnosis
Following the assessment, a detailed report is created, outlining your specific areas of strength and challenge related to memory. This report includes a clear diagnosis, if applicable, and provides a precise knowledge base for understanding your condition. The insights gained help clarify the nature of your memory difficulties.
Personalized Feedback Session
You will receive a personalized feedback session to discuss the assessment results and recommendations in detail. We also provide a hard copy of the report for your records or to share with other healthcare providers. This session is an opportunity to ask questions and plan next steps for managing your memory concerns.

Testimonials

I was referred to Dr. Shay Burns to get tested for autism and ADHD as an adult. I was really impressed! After only a few hours of interviews and testing, she wrote a report about me that showed she understood me at a deep level. Plus she’s very friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to.
