At what point after a spinal cord injury is a psychological evaluation made? - Heather Taylor, PhD

Ideally it’s right away, but a lot of times when individuals first come into the picture, there’s this huge adjustment to the trauma and what that was, so that psychological evaluation is very different than the next stage, which would be adjusting to “Where am I now? What does this mean?” So right away I encourage psychological evaluations to be involved and continued to be included in the rehab process.
