Psycho Therapy

The assessment of cognitive and behavioral functions in the disabled child is difficult and time consuming. .

Children with developmental disabilities often manifest unusual behaviors associated with an abnormal central nervous system or environment, the psychologist assesses behavior and plan implementation strategies. She uses various instruments to assess the child.

These instruments provide a more quantitative evaluation of behavioral concerns than the diagnostic interview or informal observation. Thus the psychological assessment of intrinsic abilities, academic achievement levels, and behavior is an integral part of the interdisciplinary team evaluation. The establishment of IQ by the psychologist and knowledge of the child's adaptive behaviors are essential to prioritization and coordination of other therapeutic interventions.
