What is the diagnosis of intellectual disability?<\/h2>\n

Diagnosis of intellectual disability is a process that assesses a child's functioning in the areas of cognitive development and daily independence. It is not based on a single outcome - it is important to take a holistic view of how the child copes with different situations. <\/p>\n

At Pineapple Therapy, we conduct diagnosis in a manner tailored to the child. We make sure to create a calm atmosphere, gradually build contact and observe in as natural an environment as possible. <\/p>\n

The process includes consultation with parents, observation of the child and, as appropriate, the use of relevant diagnostic tools, such as Stanford-Binet 5, CFT 1 and 10-R or Toni-4. <\/p>\n

On this basis, we prepare an opinion with recommendations for further support - both in therapy and education.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

What are the diagnostic meetings like?<\/h2>\n

Meetings are held in a calm atmosphere and are tailored to the child's abilities. We are keen that the child should be able to show his real skills, without undue stress. <\/p>\n

During the meetings, we combine observation with diagnostic tasks. We also spend part of our time talking with the parent to better understand the child's functioning in daily life. <\/p>\n

The entire process is spread over several meetings - so that the assessment is reliable and not based on a single survey.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
