Evaluation and Diagnosis Department

In this section we are working to receive cases from different ages starting from two years to 15 years, where the psychologist receives the situation by interviewing the parents using special forms that include questions about the circumstances of the development of the condition from the beginning of pregnancy to the present from all aspects of development (evolutionary- medical- linguistic - socio-psychological - academic) and the nature of the problem to be assessed, to obtain the full history of the case.

Based on the information collected through the interview with the parents, the psychologist determines the types of assessments needed, and then works to form a team of specialists who will conduct the evaluation .

The initial phase of the evaluation includes the use of:

• Diagnostic interview with parents
• IQ measures (Bient  Intelligence Scale  , Wechsler Intelligence  scale ..... etc.)
• Vinelands Adaptive Behavior  Scale 
• Diagnostic and Statistical  Manual  of Mental Disorders, 5^th Edition.(DSM-5)

The second phase of the evaluation includes (as needed) the use of one of the following metrics:

• Behavior Assessment System For Children ,Third Edition (BASC-3) Scale.
• Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (Ados-2)
• Dyslaxia Screening Test Secondary (DST-S)
• Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children | Second Edition Normative Update KABC-II NU
• Tests for Auditory Processing Disorders for Children ( SCAN-3:C)

The third phase of the evaluation:

includes the analysis and formulation of the results in a report carrying all the results produced by the tests that were applied to the case and then discussed with the parents.

Phase 4 :

Includes meeting with the Executive Department to discuss the results of the evaluations that have been subjected to the case and to develop a treatment plan for the case after joining the center.
