Why does Comprehensive Assessment Matter?

Obtaining an accurate baseline of a client’s level of functioning is important for progress monitoring. We ensure we are investigating the root causes of the child’s difficulties, resulting in a differential diagnosis. This is pertinent in order to choose the appropriate treatment approach for each client.
