Why we know this works!
We love this resource guide because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we often meet families who spent a year explaining away "senior moments" before anyone asked for testing. When should memory changes go to a neurologist? When they are persistent and starting to interfere with daily life: repeated questions, missed medications, or new trouble with problem solving and familiar tasks. A neurologist takes the medical history, does physical and neurological exams, reviews labs and imaging as needed, and works to pinpoint the cause so the right treatment can begin, with regular follow-up to adjust it. This free guide emails you the details plus the link to verify board-certified neurologists near you.
This step is especially important when dementia, Parkinson's, or multiple sclerosis is suspected, because an accurate diagnosis shapes the entire care plan. If the change in thinking, speech, or movement came on suddenly, over hours or days, treat it as a medical emergency and call 911 rather than scheduling a consult.
