A Developmental Assessment is often undertaken to explore issues originating in childhood such as ASD or ADHD. A Developmental Assessment is comprised of several components. An interview is conducted to obtain early history as well as presenting concerns. Information is collected on an ongoing basis throughout the assessment process. Testing is an important but not essential aspect of the assessment. Tests are administered to explore a child’s cognitive functioning, including strengths and weaknesses. Observation of the child and parental reports are key features of a developmental assessment. Review of any pertinent medical or developmental information is required. A feedback session is arranged once all the necessary information has been obtained and at that time findings will be given.
