Child Assessment

Assessments for Children and Teens

Many parents worry when their children seem to be struggling at school, with friends or with at home. Sometimes as parents, we just have a sense that something is that our child is experiencing is different or more challenging. It may be helpful to seek an evaluation if you notice emotional outbursts, challenges with uncertainty, difficulty with communicating ideas, differences in connecting with others, motivational issues, or hurdles in completing the tasks of childhood.

All these signs do not mean that you are a bad parent or that there is something wrong with your child. It may mean that an assessment can identify and describe areas of differences so that you can support your child in the best way possible.

If you, or your child, have already received a diagnosis and you are needing a re-evaluation for insurance or school, please go here.
