Comprehensive Developmental & Diagnostic Assessments

Gain Deeper Insights Into Your Child’s Development, Learning, & Behavior With Expert Psychological Assessments

We offer developmental and diagnostic assessments to help parents gain a clear, comprehensive understanding of their child’s unique developmental, emotional, and behavioral needs.

Our assessments are thorough, evidence-based evaluations designed to identify challenges in areas such as learning, behavior, emotional regulation, and social development, while also celebrating each child’s strengths and individuality.

Our expert clinicians use a variety of tools and methods, including in-depth interviews, observations, and standardized assessments, to create a complete picture of your child's abilities and areas of concern. The results guide us in developing tailored recommendations for interventions, therapeutic support, and educational strategies that can best support your child’s growth and success.

Key Components of Our Assessments

  • Our developmental assessments explore your child’s cognitive, emotional, and social development to provide a well-rounded understanding of their progress. We assess:

    • Cognitive abilities and learning styles

    • Emotional regulation and social behavior

    • Communication development

    • Other essential developmental skills

    These evaluations offer insight into areas where your child is thriving and where they may need additional support, helping families make informed decisions about next steps.

  • We provide diagnostic assessments to help identify specific developmental or psychological conditions, such as:

    • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

    • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

    • Anxiety and mood disorders

    • Learning disabilities

    Each diagnostic assessment leads to personalized recommendations, ensuring your child receives appropriate interventions, therapies, or educational resources.

  • Unique to Everyday Parenting Psychology, our classroom observations provide real-time insights into your child’s behavior, learning, and social interactions in their school environment. This valuable perspective can:

    • Address school-related concerns

    • Inform decisions about school placement and support

    • Offer an understanding of how your child engages in a structured learning setting

    Classroom observations are especially helpful for parents and educators seeking additional context around academic progress, social interactions, or specific behaviors.

  • Our developmental and diagnostic assessments are ideal for children and adolescents experiencing:

    • Developmental delays or challenges meeting age-related milestones

    • Learning difficulties in reading, writing, or math

    • Behavioral concerns at home or school, such as emotional outbursts, anxiety, or defiance

    • Attention and focus issues that may suggest ADHD

    • Social and communication concerns related to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

    • Emotional regulation difficulties linked to anxiety, depression, or mood-related challenges
