Early Childhood Assessment

 

Early childhood is period of rapid development. Children are growing in many different domains, including cognitive, language, motor, social, emotional, behavioral, adaptive, and emerging academic domains. If you become concerned that your child is not making age-appropriate progress in one or more of these domains, your child may benefit from an early childhood assessment.

 

Early identification, assessment, and treatment are key to a child’s success – especially at this age! Therefore, every effort will be made to schedule your child’s appointment, feedback session, and generate a report as soon as possible.
