CHILD ASSESSMENT

Assessment of Behaviour and Needs

I am able to directly assess your child, or assess using a range of ways to find out what is causing the behaviours that are unhelpful. If there is autism or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) underlying the behaviours I can further assess for this and can diagnose if necessary.
