What ages does the clinic serve?
Preschoolers
Children ages 3-5 years. These assessments often include more caregiver involvement. They also are typically more brief. Assessments at this age can help to investigate a child’s development or school readiness. Common questions might include those about meeting milestones or diagnoses like autism spectrum disorder.
Children
This group includes ages 5-12 years. Assessments with children include one-on-one work with the child, paired with a thorough parent interview. Common questions at this age often focus on social skills, attention, emotional difficulties, behavior, or learning.
Adolescents
For teens (12-17 years), testing looks similar to that done with children. However, teens often “self-refer”, meaning they are the ones who may have initially approached their parents about wanting an evaluation. An assessment at this age might help to prepare young adults for transitioning to college or more independent living.
