Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] Cognitive assessment tests and cost
Hi Jo
I suggest he would be tested/assessed for Higher executive functioning. Headway website gives good info about this. The price quoted sounds excessively expensive.
I guess loss of confidence and/or work stress/pressure can also affect his performance.

Should the organisation be asking for specific tests and if so, what? What have you paid for cognitive assessment by an occupational psychologist?
