Assessments can include interview information, medical records, a medical evaluation, or observations. Assessments also may include a wide range of interviews of parents, teachers, and others close to the child.
Psychological diagnostic testing is used by the child and family psychologist to diagnose limitations, traits, disabilities, and other conditions. A treatment plan can be developed which is designed to improve performance, behavior, and life skills.
