At the Association of Play Therapy Nigeria (APTN), we offer a range of specialized psychological assessments tailored to meet the needs of children, adolescents, and adults. Our assessments provide valuable insights into emotional, behavioural, and developmental concerns, guiding effective interventions for mental health and well-being.

Our Assessment Services Include:

• Developmental Assessments: Evaluating a child’s cognitive, emotional, and social development to identify strengths and areas that may need support.

• Behavioural Assessments: Addressing behavioural challenges such as defiance, aggression, or inattention to uncover underlying issues and provide effective intervention strategies.

• Trauma-Informed Assessments: Assessing the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and trauma on mental health, offering a foundation for trauma-informed care.

• Psychoeducational Assessments: Identifying learning difficulties and developmental delays that may be affecting academic performance, and providing strategies for educational support.

• Emotional and Social Functioning: Understanding a child's emotional regulation, social interactions, and relationships, especially in cases where children struggle with expressing feelings or connecting with others.

• Parenting and Family Dynamics: Assessing family relationships and parenting approaches, focusing on the interplay between family members and the child's emotional or behavioural challenges.

Who Can Benefit from Our Assessments?

• Children and Adolescents displaying behavioural or emotional challenges

• Schools seeking psychological insights for better academic and social support

• Parents seeking clarity on their child’s development or mental health needs

• Counsellors, Psychologists, and Therapists requiring detailed assessments to guide interventions

How It Works

1. Initial Consultation. A detailed discussion to understand your concerns and determine the best assessment approach.

2. Assessment Process. We use various standardized tools, play-based observations, and interviews to gather comprehensive information.

3. Feedback and Recommendations. After the assessment, you will receive a detailed report with recommendations for therapeutic interventions, educational strategies, or further evaluations if needed.
