An evaluation may be helpful when social difficulties are persistent, occur across different settings, or affect your child’s confidence, participation, learning, or relationships. The purpose is not to change a child’s personality or make every child highly outgoing. It is to determine whether the child has the communication, emotional, and social skills needed to participate when they choose to do so.
Why Is My Child Not Responding to Their Name?
At the Mind Center for Individuals with Disabilities, our team considers your child’s communication, social interaction, behavior, learning, and developmental milestones.Because a child’s needs may involve more than one area, recommendations are individualized rather than based on one behavior alone. Depending on the findings, support may include language development, psychology services, occupational support, ABA therapy, social skills programs, or school-based support.
