Understanding and Supporting Your Child’s Needs
Assessing adaptive functioning or behaviors is vital to finding neurodevelopmental disorders. At St. Luke's, our experts evaluate and diagnose many conditions including, but not limited to:
- Intellectual disability
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- Autism spectrum disorder
- Language disorder
Adaptive behaviors cover a wide range of developmentally driven and age-appropriate skills in both social and practical needs. Evaluating how well your child is able to function helps us identify potential supports, treatment recommendations, diagnostics, and understanding of behaviors.
