cognitive assessment
Three Pines Therapy Now Offers Creyos Health Cognitive Assessments (Previously Cambridge Brain Science) to Enhance our Evaluation Process and Objectively Measure Core Aspects of Brain Function
For Ages 6 – 90+
In addition to a standard, targeted, OT evaluation, it is now standard practice to objectively determine current levels of function in areas of memory, attention, and reasoning—all cognitive abilities you need to function optimally in everyday life, and that can impact achieving desired goals. It’s a quick assessment to check how you’re doing today, like a blood pressure cuff for your brain.

Why is Measuring Cognitive Health Important?
We all have a subjective idea of how our brains are doing—some days we feel “off” or have “brain fog,” while other days we feel like we can take on the world. But how much better are we on the good days? Are lifestyle or health changes making a difference? That’s where cognitive assessment comes in. By putting a number to these subjective feelings, we can discover what is causing the good days in order to have more of them. When your brain is performing well, every activity in your daily life will be easier, from remembering where you parked your car to doing your taxes. Kids will find it easier to complete their school work and stay focused on tasks.
Three Pines Therapy uses a leading cognitive assessment platform, Creyos Health, to quickly assess, monitor, and manage core areas of cognition to ensure that your treatment plan is on the right track.
The tasks included in the Creyos Cognitive Assessment have been validated by decades of scientific research, and are proven to measure the most important aspects of cognition. Performance is directly linked with the areas of your brain that are active when you’re at your sharpest. But more importantly, the tasks are fun, and each task only takes 1.5 – 3 minutes to complete. Now, not only will you feel better, but you can objectively track how your brain is responding to your occupational therapy treatment plan.
Is This an IQ Test?
Creyos Cognitive Assessment is not an IQ test. Think of it more like a blood pressure cuff for your brain. There’s no judgment, and the goal is to progress over time because we acknowledge that brain health changes from day to day. That’s why we believe we can improve performance through our individualized pediatric, adolescent, and adult treatment plans that now include cognitive assessment.

Creyos and some of our other assessments can often be completed in the comfort of your own home (with or without virtual observation) prior to the in-clinic session to more easily accommodate your busy schedule. We can discuss if fully virtual evaluation and treatment sessions are appropriate for your circumstances and goals during your initial consultation.
