Developmental assessments are for children ages 18 months to 5 years, with the goal of identifying differences early on to support learning, behavior, and emotional well-being. Parents, schools, pediatricians, and therapists may request a developmental assessment if there are questions about Autism, intellectual disability, or risk factors associated with ADHD and learning problems.

When unrecognized, developmental differences can contribute to emotional and behavioral difficulties and put children at risk for learning and mental health struggles in the years ahead. Seeking help early can reduce anxiety and ensure your child has appropriate documentation to seek the support they need to thrive.
