We provide screening for developmental delays in social-emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, communication, adaptive behaviour (ability to cope with the environment) and physical development. The assessment process is helpful in determining eligibility for special education and planning support programmes. We also assist in identifying your child’s strengths and weaknesses early on in life. We test for emotional adjustment and the need for behavioural, educational or psychiatric treatment in children. Such tests often form part of the package of assessments that we carry out as part of our parenting assessments in family contact proceedings, in personal injury claims or in cases before a special educational needs tribunal.
