Dr. Clark is available to conduct evaluations for a variety of legal issues. These may include but are not limited to the following:
Neuropsychologists are increasingly called upon to consult in legal cases due to their specialty training in brain and behavior (Kaufmann, 2016). Their training enables them to provide valid and reliable information on an individual's past, present, and anticipated future cognitive and psychological functioning; to estimate the impact of a specific event such as a traumatic brain injury on one's functioning; and to provide useful data on evaluee's effort (or lack thereof) during testing and any untoward influences on their presentation of symptoms. Neuropsychologists are unique in their ability to obtain and integrate the kind of comprehensive information desired in legal situations. See the excellent article by Dr. Paul Kauffman in Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology (2016) for additional information.
