Referrals
How to make a referral to the Neuropsychology Laboratory:
The Neuropsychology Laboratory offers comprehensive evaluations for children and adults with a variety of known or suspected types of brain illnesses or injuries, including learning disorders. Evaluations are conducted by students in doctoral programs in psychology at Ball State University. Each student is supervised by the Director of the Neuropsychology Laboratory, Dr. Raymond Dean, who is board certified as a Clinical Neuropsychologist.
Our Services: We provide consultation to physicians, families, employers, and schools to identify if brain dysfunction exits and to describe how individuals are coping with their brain dysfunction. We also conduct reevaluations to monitor treatment outcomes and recovery.
