Neuropsychologist
Kathleen L. Fuchs, PhD, ABPP-CN
It has been estimated that at least half of individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience some
degree of cognitive dysfunction, which can negatively affect employment status and quality of life.
Many MS patients are referred for neuropsychological evaluation to assess their cognitive abilities.
This article describes the evaluation process and the role of the neuropsychologist on a multidiscipli-
nary MS health-care team. A neuropsychologist is trained in relationships between brain functioning
and behavior and can administer cognitive tests and provide feedback on the individual’s cognitive
strengths and weaknesses. The findings can be used to recommend specific types of compensation
strategies or other interventions that may help the patient maintain employment and independent
functioning.Int J MS Care.2009;11:32–37.
