We as a personality and skills development centre highly believe that mental well being is one of the most important factors in life.
The specialty of Clinical Child Psychology has evolved with a core foundation in basic psychology, clinical psychology, developmental processes and the integration of research and practice. A defining feature of Clinical Child Psychology is the emphasis on understanding children from the perspective of both normal development and of psychopathology.
Particular attention is given to specialty-specific skills for working with such diverse populations and an appreciation for those cultural, ethnic and other diversity-related factors that must be considered in clinical practice.
Clinical Child Psychology is a specialty of professional pychology that brings together the basic tenets of clinical psychology with a thorough background in child, adolescent and family development and developmental psychopathology. Clinical child and adolescent psychologists conduct scientific research and provide psychological services to infants, toddlers, children and adolescents.
What We Do
We are basically a counseling centre which deals with all the psychological issues. To have an idea let?s evaluate some of the tasks we do.
Identifying an ADHD Child:
If you feel that your child is overactive, not willing to stay at one place even for 10 minutes getting into risky situations than other kids, your child might be an ADHD child. We screen his condition using a standard assessment questionnaire. Here we use Tony 3 Intelligence Standard Test and Strength &difficulties Questionnaire to find out his intelligent level and reason for over activity. The assessment includes the information of the child from the time of the birth.
Then we guide your child to a psychiatrist to find out if he needs to go any drug treatment. In some cases they may need not to drug treatment as well. After the basic assessment, we decide whether the child needs behavior therapy. Because the important factor is that child is on the period of his/her brain development. We can easily correct some of the issues in the behavior and learning areas with the behavioral therapy and study skills. The day to be trained per week is decided by the relevant therapist. Most probably that is once or twice a week.
