Child Behavior Assessment


A Behavioral Assessment package, for ages two and up, may include parent and teacher interviews, a classroom or in-office observation, parent/teacher standardized behavioral questionnaires, and written report with recommendations for intervention. Psycho-educational and diagnostic evaluations are also available for all ages. Such an evaluation may include a social-emotional and/or cognitive testing. Along with testing to assess developmental and/or cognitive abilities, Dr. Abrams can provide services as your advocate in the process of communicating test results to teachers and/or facilitating individual educational planning.

Behavioral, developmental and cognitive assessments allow parents and students to understand the nature of their social or academic challenges.

Assessment facilitates treatment planning and intervention which in turn facilitates growth and maturation. Assessment materials may include:

  • Behavioral Assessment Scale for Children (BASC)
  • Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBC)
  • Early Childhood Inventory
  • Child Depression Inventory (CDI)
  • Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children III - Revised (WISC-III)
  • Woodcock Johnson Cognitive or Achievement Testing
