Development and Functioning

This section helps build a practical profile of a child's development, strengths and support needs.

It covers intelligence and learning, adaptive skills, speech and communication, behaviour, motor skills, sensory characteristics and everyday functioning. These assessments may support planning and monitoring but do not replace autism diagnosis or medical assessment.
