Assessing relational approaches with infants, children, adolescents and teenagers with their families can uncover strengths in children that can be nurtured through therapy.

Professional Child Therapists have the complex task of understanding the meaning of the child’s behavior within the context of his or her family, community, and culture.

Well trained and licensed child therapists use assessment to make decisions on how, where and when to intervene in order to help a child make fullest use of his or her developmental potential. This multifaceted context of the assessment environment is very important to achieving the overall goals of individual children undergoing therapy.
