"This report didn’t just explain my child, it explained our whole life.’ That’s the power of assessment."

Renee Testa, Psychologist

The Brief Cognitive Status Exam helps evaluate global cognitive functioning in patients with dementia, mild intellectual disability, or suspected Alzheimer’s disease. This brief, reliable test is a stand-alone version of the optional Brief Cognitive Status Exam found in the WMS®-IV (Wechsler Memory Scale® – Fourth Edition–Australian and New Zealand Language Adaptation).
