Psychological/Cognitive Assessment

Psychological/Cognitive Assessment

Outcome

  • Written report
  • Identified cognitive strengths and deficits
  • Mental health status (where relevant)
  • RTW guidance on adjustments and strategies
  • Costed Vocational Rehab Plan

Method of delivery

These assessments are carried out face to face by chartered registered psychologists either at the individual's home or workplace

Purpose of the Service

Cognitive and Psychological Assessments gain a clear understanding of an individual's cognitive strengths and deficits in order to provide advice to the individual and their employer on adjustments and strategies to support a safe and sustained return to work.

What is a Psychological or Cognitive Assessment?

These assessments may include formal
neuropsychological psychometric testing to determine current levels of
cognitive functioning as well as individual observations. They are commonly
used for claimants with brain-injury and neurological or mental health
conditions. Typically, a neuropsychological assessment involves performance
based assessment of cognitive ability areas, such as: 

  • concentration and attention
  • memory
  • processing speed
  • reasoning
  • judgment
  • problem-solving
  • spatial functions
  • language
    functions

These assessments are tailored to the individual's work situation and the report
provided following the assessment includes advice regarding adaptations,
strategies and support that could help the individual remain in their own or
alternative role. 

Where the individual has a mental health condition we have health professionals who specialise in this area and who are able to observe the individual and administer assessment scales to ascertain mental health status and make recommendations.

Who is this suitable for?

This type of assessment is appropriate for people with a health condition that affects their cognitive function such as stroke, brain injury or neurological conditions, where it would assist the return to work process to have a clear understanding of their cognitive strengths and deficits to support the return to work.

Kind words from our clients

Ergocom provided in depth consultation covering a phased return to work plan, equipment for both home and workplace that would help with recovery and advice surrounding how colleagues could help in the workplace. The phased return to work plan was successful in that the return to work has now been sustained over a number of years.
Andrew Fitzsimmons
Manager Employer
Ergocom provided me with a friendly, approachable and very professional consultant who encouraged me where I felt I was regularly failing. Sue is just fantastic. I was speaking to someone who actually understood and who helped and supported me in a caring and constructive manner, which is what I so desperately needed. I have struggled badly, but this is the first decently sustained return to work after I had four failed attempts over a 16 month period.

It has been good to look back from when I was recovering from the operation, to getting back to work and to where I am now.  Christa’s support meant that I did not have to stress about work, and that I was not going to be forced into work before I was ready.  The ‘hand-holding’ when I did start work was important - I needed someone one to say, “no, not yet’ and “OK, now you are ready to give it a go".

It’s been really good having you working on the account and I have really valued your input (and wisdom ) on the wide variety of cases we have.

Support from Ergocom has been a great asset in my rehabilitation and return to work. Being able to speak to a third party with an understanding of the difficulties of returning from a major illness and surgery has been an invaluable source of comfort and support through the “ups and downs”.

I wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your help and support, I couldn’t have made it back to where I am now without your help. My doctor also said that he has been very impressed with how my employer has handled my return, and I believe that a lot of that credit must go to you. I was dreading returning to work, but you have made it so much easier than I thought it would be.

The help and advice I have received has been invaluable. The guidance and support provided to me has given me the tools I needed to work with my employer to ensure an amicable agreement during my return to work.
