ASSESSMENTS & DIAGNOSIS
Assessment and Diagnosis involves a more in-depth investigation of children and differentiates them from various developmental disorders. Lack of acquisition of the normal standardized milestones within known accepted and established ranges are considered abnormal and associated with a high probability of a developmental disability. In-depth diagnosis and evaluation are important in determining optimal interventional strategies based on the child’s profile of strengths and weaknesses. Assessment is done in a holistic approach on Behavioural, Emotional and Social Development parameters which consist of clinical, psychological and standard therapy assessments. The key to appropriate teaching lies in careful and ongoing assessment linked with teaching.
