Neuropsychology in Barcelona
Neuropsychology helps to understand how abilities such as attention, memory, language and organisation work, and how they relate to everyday life. At AlfaBeta we offer assessment and intervention adapted to age and to the reason for consulting.

(How we work)
Bringing information together so it is useful
A single score does not explain on its own what is happening to a person.
We relate the interview, the selected tests and relevant information from everyday settings. In the feedback appointment we explain the conclusions, their limits and the recommendations. When appropriate, we coordinate next steps with other professionals.

Team and languages
Before starting an assessment, we confirm the language of the interviews, the suitability of the tests and the language of the report. Translating a test does not automatically make it valid for every person.
Frequently asked questions
Is an assessment just a test?
No. Tools are selected according to the clinical question and interpreted together with history, context and everyday functioning.
Does it always lead to a diagnosis?
Not necessarily. It can help describe strengths and difficulties, guide support or show that further assessment is needed. The conclusions depend on the information available.
Which functions are explored?
Depending on the question: attention, memory, language, executive functions —planning, organising, regulating behaviour— and other relevant abilities. There is no identical package for everyone.
Do you assess both children and adults?
Yes. There is a child neuropsychological assessment, an adult one, and a dedicated autism assessment for children and adolescents. We can advise on which applies.
Will I receive a report?
After the assessment we explain the conclusions, their limits and the recommendations in a feedback session. The report sets out the question assessed, the procedures, the relevant results and their interpretation.
In which language is the assessment carried out?
Before starting we confirm the language of the interviews, whether the tests are suitable and the language of the report. A translated test is not automatically valid for everyone.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the question and the tests needed. After the first interview we explain the proposed sessions, report and feedback, together with the fee, before anything starts.
