Developmental Assessments (Ages 0-4)

The Quin­cy Med­ical Group Pedi­atric Assess­ment Cen­ter offers com­pre­hen­sive inter­dis­ci­pli­nary eval­u­a­tions for chil­dren from birth to 4 years of age. Our com­pre­hen­sive assess­ments include an eval­u­a­tion by a clin­i­cal psy­chol­o­gist, a speech/​language pathol­o­gist, and an occu­pa­tion­al ther­a­pist and include:

• Assess­ment of speech/​language, motor skills, and cog­ni­tive skills
• Assess­ments of autism, cog­ni­tion, ear­ly aca­d­e­m­ic abil­i­ties, and oth­er areas relat­ed to development
• Assess­ment of anx­i­ety, mood, safe­ty, and behav­ioral issues
• Assis­tance and rec­om­men­da­tions in devel­op­ing an appro­pri­ate edu­ca­tion­al, behav­ioral, and med­ical treat­ment plan

The typ­i­cal assess­ment process includes:

• Inter­view with care­givers to gath­er infor­ma­tion and under­stand concerns
• One appoint­ment with the child (up to 2 hours in length), which may include admin­is­tra­tion of tests and struc­tured obser­va­tions through play
• Feed­back with care­givers to review test results, diag­no­sis (if appro­pri­ate), and treat­ment recommendations

If you believe your child would ben­e­fit from a com­pre­hen­sive assess­ment, you may call your child’s pri­ma­ry care provider and request a referral.
