Developmental Assessment
Accurate Assessments of San Diego's Developmental Assessments or Evaluations assess whether problems with communication, problems relating to people, difficulty with change, and/or odd or unusual behavior are due to a developmental disorder, sometimes know as Autism or Asperger's Disorder. These conditions begin in early childhood, but can be seen throughout life. A Developmental or Neurodevelopmental Disorders include an Autism Spectrum Disorders (Asperger’s or Autism), Intellectual Disability (formerly known as Mental Retardation), and other problems.
