Behavior Assessment
Each assessment is highly individualized and is designed according to the issues or problems identified by the school or parents. As well as overt, acting out behaviours, I address such issues as lack of behavioral self-control, especially impulsivity, hyperactivity and restlessness.
I also address skill deficits such as social skills deficits and deficits in interpersonal skills. Input is sought from significant others (parents, teachers, administrators etc.) as appropriate. Information from such an assessment is used to plan an intervention or may be part of an IEP or IPP. Behavior assessments typically rely on teacher completed questionnaires and direct observation.
