An assessment is an important step that helps the clinician understand your concerns, your child’s challenges, or your family’s difficulties. Typically, it will involve both an interview and the completion of questionnaires with the goal of identifying the issues that are most pressing and some of their possible causes. Drawing on the assessment, the clinician is able to develop, in consultation with you, an effective plan to achieve your goals.
