All of our assessments take an holistic view of the child or young person and we work in partnership with parents. Our aim is to help parents have a full understanding of all of the reasons their child is behaving as they are. Sometimes this may be due to a specific developmental difficulty, but in our experience, this is not always the case.
We know for example that with some conditions there is a greater chance of co-morbid features. Sometimes, the child is using behaviour as a communication for unhappiness within the context of family, social or school difficulties. You can be confident that we will look at all of these factors to offer a fully comprehensive assessment.
