Our program for Evaluation and Diagnosis in Ajman is a meticulous, multi-stage, and team-based approach specifically designed to gain a deep, holistic understanding of your child’s unique strengths, challenges, and needs. We recognize that every child is an individual, and our process reflects this by leaving no stone unturned in our quest to provide clarity and a definitive path forward for families.

Phase 1: In-Depth History & Initial Assessment
The cornerstone of our process is a comprehensive diagnostic interview conducted by our experienced psychologist with the parents. This is more than a simple conversation; it is a structured gathering of life history using specialized forms that guide us through every critical stage of your child’s development. We trace the journey from the beginning of pregnancy to the present day, meticulously exploring all key areas: evolutionary milestones, medical history, linguistic progress, socio-psychological development, and academic performance. This thorough information is vital, as it allows us to pinpoint the precise assessments needed and to assemble a dedicated, tailored team of specialists who are perfectly suited to address your child’s specific situation.

Initial assessment tools include:

• Diagnostic Interview with Parents

• IQ Measures (e.g., Binet Intelligence Scale, Wechsler Intelligence Scale)

• Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale to assess everyday living skills

• DSM-5 Criteria for standardized diagnostic classification

Phase 2: Targeted Specialized Testing
Building on the initial findings, we move into a phase of targeted investigation. Here, we employ specific, gold-standard metrics to probe deeper into the areas of concern identified in Phase 1. This ensures a precise and accurate diagnosis, moving from a general understanding to a specific, data-driven conclusion. Our access to a wide range of leading tools allows us to tailor this phase to your child, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach.

Examples of these advanced tools are:

• Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2)

• Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC-3)

• Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC-II NU)

• Dyslexia Screening Test (DST-S)

• Tests for Auditory Processing Disorders (SCAN-3:C)

Phase 3: Analysis & Family Discussion
Our team then dedicates significant time to analyzing and synthesizing all the gathered findings—from the historical data to the quantitative test results. We formulate these into a comprehensive, yet understandable, diagnostic report. This report is not simply handed over; it is discussed with you, the parents, in a dedicated session. We ensure you have full clarity on the results, what they mean for your child, and we answer every question you have, empowering you with knowledge.

Phase 4: Collaborative Treatment Planning
The final step in our Evaluation and Diagnosis in Ajman process is to translate understanding into action. We convene a meeting with our Executive Department and clinical team to review all evaluation results. Together, we develop a personalized, actionable, and goal-oriented treatment plan. This plan is your child’s roadmap for success, ready to be implemented from their very first day at our center, ensuring a seamless transition from diagnosis to active support and growth.
