Assessment

This involves a comprehensive evaluation of a young person's emotional, behavioural, and cognitive functioning. It typically includes clinical interviews, standardised measures, behavioural observations, and collateral information from parents and teachers. Accurate assessment is crucial for proper diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring progress over time.
