Behavioural Assessments
Dr Robinson has worked extensively with children presenting with behavioural difficulties and their families. When working with children who are struggling with behavioural excesses, it is very important and helpful to get an understanding of where these occur and how they are maintained. Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders and Disruptive Behaviour Disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder often forms part of a diagnosis where behavioural difficulties come to the fore and a structured assessment process is needed to make the necessary recommendation and suggest possible treatment options.
Youth Crime Assessments
Youth crimes have become an enormous concern in society and society are now confronted with family murders where children are perpetrators of such a crime, child-to-child physical and emotional abuse, and child-to-child sexual offences have also become an increasing problem.
Family Assessments
Comprehensive family assessment is guided by principles of family-centered, culturally competent practice. All-inclusive family assessment is the ongoing practice of identifying, considering, and weighing factors that impact children, youth, and their families.
Child Sexual Abuse Assessments
With a possible child sexual abuse case the matter needs to be dealt with extreme care and professionalism. It is imperative to assess the child in a “safe place” to obtain the necessary information needed.
