Behavioral Assessment Services for Children
Behavioral assessments are crucial in evaluating and addressing challenging behaviors that may hinder a child’s development and well-being. Our comprehensive assessments aim to identify and diagnose behavioral disorders, providing valuable insights and personalized solutions for children and their families.
Our behavioral assessments explore various aspects of a child’s behavior, identifying patterns that may indicate underlying issues. These concerns include:
- Hyperactivity and Impulsivity: Observable behaviors such as restlessness, excessive talking, impulsiveness, and difficulty in turn-taking.
- Inattention: Challenges in concentration, organization, and task completion, often leading to careless errors and frequent distractions.
- Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD): Behaviors characterized by defiance, anger outbursts, argumentativeness, and refusal to comply with rules.
- Conduct Disorder (CD): Serious behavioral problems like aggression, bullying, physical harm to others, and theft.
Types of Behavioral Disorders Assessed
Our assessments focus on three main areas of behavioral disorders:
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD):
Evaluating symptoms related to inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, with a particular emphasis on identifying the type of ADHD (inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, or combined)
Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD):
Assessing behaviors characterized by defiance, hostility towards authority figures, and difficulty in social interactions.
Supportive Partnership:
We are committed to supporting you every step of the way on your healing journey. By fostering a collaborative relationship, we believe in empowering you to overcome emotional challenges and achieve lasting well-being. Together, we can navigate through difficulties and work towards a brighter, healthier future.
Benefits of Behavioral Assessments
Our services offer several benefits:
Individualized Treatment Plans:
Tailored recommendations for parents and teachers to manage a child’s behavior effectively at home and in school.
Evaluation of Intervention Effectiveness:
Regular reassessment to gauge the progress of treatment programs and modify strategies as needed.
Differential Diagnosis:
Integrating behavioral assessments with cognitive evaluations to distinguish behavioral issues from underlying intellectual disabilities, learning disorders, or giftedness.
Assessment Process
Our detailed assessment process involves:
- Parent Interviews: Gathering developmental history and insights into the child’s behavior at home.
- Teacher Interviews/Observations: Understanding behavioral patterns and challenges in the school environment.
- Clinical Sessions: Direct interaction with the child to observe behavior and assess symptoms.
- Diagnostic Questionnaires: Standardized tools to gather comprehensive information for accurate diagnosis.
By employing a holistic approach, we aim to empower children and families with a deeper understanding of behavioral challenges and effective strategies for intervention and support.
Developmental Assessment Services for Children
Developmental assessments in children are recommended when there are concerns about a child’s ability to meet expected developmental milestones and perform everyday tasks.
When parents or caregivers notice concerns about a child’s development, getting a developmental assessment can provide clarity and guidance. Here’s how it can help:
1. Identifying Developmental Delays:
Assessing a child’s progress against expected milestones helps in spotting any delays, especially concerning intellectual development.
Regular assessments allow for tracking progress over time to gauge improvement.
2. Tailored Support Programs:
Pinpointing a child’s strengths and weaknesses enables providers to collaborate with parents and educators in creating personalized interventions.
3. Accessing Support Resources:
A formal diagnosis of a developmental disability can open doors to government and school funding, ensuring the child receives necessary support both at home and in the classroom.
4. Partnered Cognitive Assessments:
By combining developmental and cognitive assessments, it becomes easier to understand whether specific challenges stem from intellectual disabilities or learning disorders.
Assessment Process
A comprehensive developmental assessment covers various areas, including:
- Communication: Assessing speaking and listening skills is crucial for effective communication.
- Social Skills: Evaluating abilities to interact and connect emotionally with others.
- Self-Care and Independence: Gauging skills related to personal care and self-control.
- Motor Skills: Examining both gross motor skills (like crawling) and fine motor skills (like gripping objects).
This assessment typically involves:
- Developmental History Interview with Parents
- Teacher Consultations
- Standardized Psychometric Assessment
The results are compiled into a written report, and the provider discusses identified needs and recommended interventions with the family.
Developmental and Behavioral Care
We specialize in providing personalized mental health care for individuals of all ages in a supportive, family-oriented setting.

Additionally, we offer specialized assistance for children and adults dealing with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. If you’re feeling depressed, anxious, or fearful, don’t worry, you’re not alone. These emotions are normal and nothing to be ashamed of. The good news is that there are ways to overcome them. Through counseling and treatment, we can help you regain the motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life. Remember, there is always hope and you can overcome these emotions with the right support.

Habit Change and Goal-Setting
Motivational interviewing is an evidence-based counseling approach that aims to help people resolve ambivalence about behavior change. It involves a collaborative, non-judgmental, and empathic conversation between the therapist and the client, where the client’s own intrinsic motivation and values are elicited and reinforced.
At our practice, we use motivational interviewing techniques to help individuals who feel stuck in their current patterns of behavior. We understand that making changes in life can be challenging, and we offer a supportive and non-threatening environment that encourages clients to express their concerns and challenges openly.
Our therapists are trained to listen actively and provide reflections that help the client explore their ambivalence and identify their reasons for change. By using open-ended questions and reflective listening, we aim to help our clients discover their own answers and solutions that work best for them. We also provide feedback and support that is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART), which helps clients stay motivated and on track towards their goals.
Our goal is to empower our clients to take control of their lives and make the changes they desire, whether it be in their relationships, career, health, or any other area that matters to them. We believe that everyone has the capacity to change, and we are here to help them unleash their potential.
