Developmental evaluations examine a child’s cognitive, language, motor, and adaptive functioning to assess whether developmental milestones are being met.
These evaluations are particularly important in early childhood, when identifying deficits/delays can lead to timely intervention and improved long-term outcomes. They provide a comprehensive picture of how a child is developing across multiple domains.
Developmental evaluations may also help identify developmental patterns consistent with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), when appropriate.
