ASSESSMENT
Neurological disabilities are assessed
in a variety of ways by many different types of professionals.
Genetic testing can be performed before
birth by a few different methods such as amniocentesis, testing the amniotic
fluid, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), when a small piece of the placenta is
removed and most commonly a uterine ultrasound.
They are many types of diagnostic
testing that are used to assessed neurological disabilities such as brain
scans, CT scans (computed tomography), spinal tap (cerebrospinal fluid
analysis), EEG (electroencephalography) and EMG (electromyography). These are
the most common but there are many more specialized tests as well depending on
the effects being displayed.
Neurological examinations are another
type of testing. These include motor and sensory skills, coordination and
balance, and speech and vision. As well as observing behaviours. Again these
are the most common but not the only examples of neurological examinations.
