Our Evaluation Process
1. Caregiver Interview
We begin with a structured interview to gather developmental history, current concerns, and relevant background information.
2. Behavioral Observation
The examiner observes the child’s behavior, social interaction, communication, and play or task engagement, depending on age and needs.
3. Standardized Assessment
Caregivers are provided with validated rating scales and questionnaires based on the child’s profile. These tools help evaluate areas such
as attention, behavior, emotional functioning, social communication, and adaptive skills.
4. Comprehensive Report
A thorough diagnostic report is prepared, integrating interview findings, observations, rating scales, and clinical impressions.
The report includes diagnoses (when appropriate) and detailed, individualized recommendations for home, school, and therapeutic settings.
