A clinical assessment performed at NRI helps in creating a baseline for children facing socio/neuro developmental challenges such as Autism and Adhd. Clinical assessments are an important tool for evaluating the developmental, behavioral, and emotional functioning of children facing socio/neuro developmental challenges such as Autism and ADHD. These assessments are typically conducted by trained professionals, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, or developmental pediatricians.
The following tests are conducted at NRI:
- Indian Scale of Assessment for Autism(ISAA)
- Vanderbilt Assessment Scale
- Vineland Social Maturity Scale
- Reflex Integration Assessment
- ADHD Screening & Diagnosing Assessment
During the assessment, the professional will conduct a series of tests, observations, and interviews with the child and their parents or caregivers, as well as other individuals who work closely with the child, such as teachers or therapists.
The purpose of the assessment is to gather information about the child’s developmental history, current functioning, and any specific challenges they may be facing.
The information gathered during the assessment is then used to create a baseline for the child’s functioning. This baseline serves as a point of reference for future assessments and can help to track the child’s progress over time
For example, if a child is diagnosed with Autism or ADHD, the baseline can be used to determine the severity of their symptoms and the effectiveness of any treatment interventions.
In addition to creating a baseline, clinical assessments can also help to identify strengths and weaknesses in the child’s functioning. This information can be used to develop a treatment plan that addresses the child’s specific needs and promotes their overall development.
