The Griffith Mental Development Scales (GMDS) are widely used by paediatricians and psychologists to measure the rate of development of infants and young children from birth to eight years. The GMDS assess a child's strengths and weaknesses in all developmental areas and can be used to determine if a child is in need of early intervention or a treatment program.
An assessor must be accredited to complete the Griffith Mental Development Scales evaluation.
An assessment involves gathering and collating detailed information to explore a diagnosis and treatment plan delivered by our highly experienced staff. Because each child is different, individual assessments can vary.
Assessment results are compiled in a detailed psychological report that includes relevant background information, medical history, a summary of observations and practical recommendations.
