Concentrating on the clearer picture
Each and every day, we are constantly motivated and driven by a hunger to deliver the best services we possibly can. Why? Because it’s our desire to see every single individual live a fulfilling and rewarding life. For those experiencing new or ongoing difficulties with thinking, learning, memory or behaviour related to their brain injury or disease, put your faith in us. We are here to help you.
Making appropriate plans for care and rehabilitation is impossible without first understanding the nature of an individual’s difficulty with thinking, learning and memory. That’s why concentrating on the clearer picture is foremost in our minds. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or don’t know where to turn, depend on us. Rest assured, TABIRS benefits from access to two professional neuropsychologists with over 35 years of combined industry experience. They can provide neuropsychological evaluations for the start you need.
What is the purpose of a neuropsychological evaluation?
A neuropsychological evaluation is a comprehensive assessment of cognition, using a set of standardized tests and procedures to provide valid and reliable information about a person’s abilities. We also add practical tasks that give us information about performance in the real world.
Assessment of academic skill development, emotional, behavioural and personality functioning may be performed as well.
Neuropsychological assessment can:
• Identify problems with brain functioning
• Confirm or clarify a diagnosis
• Define cognitive strengths and weaknesses
• Guide rehabilitation, educational, vocational, or other services and make recommendations to other health care providers
• Determine disability
• Document possible changes to functioning over time
Evidence-based assessments for real-life questions
A neuropsychological assessment is only useful if it is easily understood by the people who need the information the most – you! That’s why our neuropsychological reports provide relevant and practical suggestions that can be applied to real-life situations. With certainty, you will be armed with a report meeting current standards for evidence-based neuropsychological practice, and one providing the clarity you need for any family member or person providing direct care.
Reports are well-accepted when used for legal purposes. We are committed to providing feedback from testing in whatever format will make the information usable to our clients and those around them.
Please note, TABIRS’ Neuropsychological Services specialize in psychometric assessment of adolescents (aged 18 and over), adults and seniors with acquired brain injury for rehabilitation and medical-legal purposes.

CHIRS has provided me with a greater sense of independence. Before CHIRS, and after my accident, I was living with my mother. Moving into a residence at CHIRS gave me a chance to step back into society. As well, I really love the music program at CHIRS; It gives me a chance to practice the harmonica and to join my friends in singing. I also like to mentor at the club. Doing laundry, serving coffee and washing dishes is a great way to feel productive and give back to CHIRS.
The quality of human beings in this building, from staff to volunteers to students to participants, is so far superior to what is found in the regular world. There is always someone here to lend a hand or provide a positive word when needed. There is always something to do at CHIRS. You will never be bored. Many people who attend have had their life change, going from working full time to having a lot of time on their hands. CHIRS gives us a place to go and meet people and have fun.
CHIRS is a good place to hang out. People are my ‘own type’ in that we all have brain injuries which means that we understand each other. It is good to know that at CHIRS people won’t dismiss me right away if they see that I walk funny or hear me talking in a peculiar fashion. I mentor at the club on Mondays and I do the work as needed. It keeps me busy and helps me feel needed. Plus the coffee is cheap which is a bonus!
My favourite thing about CHIRS is connecting with my peers and helping out. I prepare lunch at the club twice a week, run a Scrabble group on Tuesday and help with karaoke on Thursday. It helps to keep my brain stimulated and allows me to feel like I am doing something worthwhile with my life. I love the challenge of making the club a welcoming and positive place. It feels so good to turn frowns into smiles. If I didn’t have CHIRS I would feel isolated and would have far less to look forward to.
