Neuropsychology focuses on identifying the neuro-anatomical sources in the brain of cognitive, emotional, or behavioral function. As such, it can identify the course of change in function that follows a neurological trauma or condition. A neuropsychologist would generally seek natural and non-invasive ways to foster recovery and improvement, or even peak performance, in those who are struggling with effects on their performance.

On a more personal note, Dr. Dickson attributes his success to the guidance and support of great mentors and learning experiences throughout his career. In his free time, he enjoys cheering on the University of Oklahoma sports teams, biking, and reading.
