BEHAVIOURAL ASSESSMENTS

Behavioural assessments examine whether a child exhibits challenging behaviour that falls outside the age-appropriate range. Behavioural concerns may include hyperactivity, impulsivity, aggression, difficult sustaining attention, and disruptions to learning and peer relations. Assessments help to identify and diagnose: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, Conduct Disorder. Assessments utilised include the BASC-3; Connors rating Scales; Vineland-3.

Our behavioural assessments are also useful to:

• Develop individualised treatment plans

• Evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention.

• Process of differential diagnosis: Behavioural assessments can also be administered in conjunction with cognitive assessments to determine if challenging behaviours can be explained by the presence of an intellectual disability, learning disorder or giftedness.
