Development Testing

Respect Behavior Therapy offers comprehensive developmental and behavioral screening services designed to monitor and assess the crucial aspects of your child's growth and development. Through our tailored screening process, which includes meticulously crafted checklists and questionnaires for parents, we focus on evaluating your child's language abilities, motor skills, cognitive functions, behavior, and emotional well-being.

Our evaluations are grounded in the principle of developmental milestones—key indicators of a child’s progress in areas such as emotional expression, physical movement, and social interaction. By comparing your child’s achievements with established benchmarks typical for their age group, we can identify any deviations or delays in development. This approach enables us to pinpoint potential developmental disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, which manifest as challenges in learning and performing daily activities; autism spectrum disorder, impacting social skills and communication; cerebral palsy, affecting physical movement and coordination; and hearing impairments.

It's important to note that while our screenings are pivotal in identifying potential developmental concerns, they do not serve as diagnostic tools. However, they are crucial first steps in recognizing if your child may be developing at a different pace. Recognizing these signs early can lead to early intervention services, which are key to helping your child build vital skills, maximize their strengths, and significantly improve their life quality.

We understand that navigating insurance coverage for these essential services can be challenging. While insurance may not cover the cost of developmental and behavioral screenings, we are pleased to inform you that Compsych insurance is an exception, offering coverage for our screening services. This commitment ensures that your child has access to the necessary support, fostering their development and well-being.

At Respect Behavior Therapy, we are dedicated to providing the support and guidance your child needs to thrive. Our team is here to navigate the complexities of insurance coverage with you, ensuring that your child receives the quality care they deserve.
