I work with children from birth to the age of 13 years.
Parents make an appointment during which an evaluation is carried out to get more information about the child's current development.
During the evaluation, I use international scientific test batteries (evaluation criteria) to determine if there are any dropouts or developmental delays.
This is determined by the evaluation and the programs are age specific.
