Angela is a Clinical Neuropsychologist who adopts an empathic approach towards neuropsychological evaluation of adults with known or suspected neurological disorders. She uses careful clinical observation together with neuropsychological testing to develop an understanding of the nature and severity of the cognitive and functional difficulties experienced by her clients. This valuable information is used to aid in differential diagnosis and prognosis, as well as intervention planning and monitoring over time.
With specialised experience as part of a multidisciplinary team at the renowned Institute of Aging in Africa’s Memory Clinic, Angela is particularly adept at providing neuropsychological services for the dementias and related disorders of memory. This includes assisting affected individuals, their families, and their multidisciplinary medical team in identifying and understanding the complex cognitive and behavioural deficits
associated with these conditions.
