Bilingual Assessment & Treatment

Assessment is the process by which we enable children to succeed by identifying developmental needs and by highlighting unique strengths.

Our individual assessment services provide a clearer view of a child’s current level of functioning in the key areas of intellectual/cognitive ability, academic achievement, social awareness and judgment, behavior, communication, and emotional and psychological functioning.

Comprehensive bilingual psycho-educational assessment includes:

1. Intake interview with parents identifying areas for concern and developmental goals for the evaluation;

2. Review of the paperwork from the native country, particularly documentation on medical, psychological, and educational history of a child;

3. Testing
