An assessment is recommended when there are concerns about your child\u2019s ability to meet expected developmental milestones and perform everyday tasks. The primary aim of the assessment process is to identify a child\u2019s strengths and challenges in a range of developmental domains including cognitive, social, emotional, language, physical development and adaptive behaviours such as self-care and self-direction. The results can assist parents and teachers to provide appropriate and tailored management plans and life-skill programs to maximise a child\u2019s developmental potential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Purposes of Developmental Assessments:<\/strong><\/p>\n Assessment Process<\/strong><\/p>\n One our our clinical psychology team will carry out an initial consultation. Please note this consultation does not include the child. The clinical psychologist will ask you questions about your family, your child\u2019s history, strengths and areas of concern.\u00a0 Please bring video footage of your child interacting with peers, any concerning behaviour or delay in development, playing and demonstrating their interests. The clinical psychologist will discuss your assessment options and answer any questions about the assessment process.<\/span><\/p>\n The cli<\/span>nical psychologist will advise the assessment pathway that will suit your child\u2019s needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n TESTING<\/b><\/p>\n Our team are focussed on making the assessment a good experience for your child and supporting them to achieve their best results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/b><\/p>\n TEAM CONFERENCE<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The team will meet to discuss your child in detail, having multiple perspectives on your child’s strengths and challenges. This is seen around the world as best practise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n THE REPORT<\/b><\/p>\n The report will include standardised results, data that compares your child to their similar aged peers, as well as assessment observations. Conclusions and diagnosis will be made if it is appropriate. All reports include conclusions and recommendations. Recommendations also include strategies to address problem areas, as well as how to continue to support areas of strength.<\/span><\/p>\n DEBRIEF<\/b><\/p>\n Parents will meet with the assessing therapist\/s to discuss the report and recommendations.
