Clínica CARMA
Clínica CARMA provides Spanish-language comprehensive neuropsychology evaluations for older adults with memory and/or thinking concerns. The goals of an evaluation are to: (a) understand the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and functional state of a person; (b) provide diagnostic services; and (c) identify strengths and opportunities for improvement in daily life.
