Mark Wedell, Owner of Wedell Home Therapy is certified in a Neurobehavioral Evaluation called ( A- ONE). Neurobehavioral Evaluation is a process that analyzes neurological/behavioral/perceptual and cognitive aspects of function through scoring and interpretation of basic daily functions for individuals afflicted by strokes, traumatic brain injuries or other neurological processes. Strokes, traumatic brain injury and neurological diseases can cause a change in neurological functions in young adults, adults and geriatric adults.
