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. Developmental evaluation or assessment can also identify whether or not a diagnosis is present when a child fails to meet developmental milestones such as talking.
