At the Muenzer MPS Research and Treatment Center, a dedicated neurocognitive clinician is available to provide individualized assessments to our patients. Assessments are conducted on-site at the center and are included as part of the overall consultation visit.

TYPES OF ASSESSMENTS

Developmental Assessments:

Developmental assessments are tools used to evaluate a child’s functioning level in regard to developmental milestones. The main areas that are tested are: cognitive, receptive and expressive language, and fine and gross motor. These assessments provide a comprehensive understanding of a child’s growth and can help identify delays or areas where they may need additional support. Developmental assessments are typically administered in a play-based format.

Cognitive Assessments:

Cognitive assessments are used to measure an individual’s intellectual abilities across various cognitive domains, including memory, reasoning, problem-solving, attention, and language skills. The goal is to assess how well a person processes information, learns, and applies their knowledge in different contexts. These assessments generally provide scores that reflect cognitive functioning (IQ scores), academic achievement, or both.

Adaptive Behavior Assessments:

Adaptive behavior interview assessments are a key component of clinic visits, providing valuable insights into an individual’s everyday functioning and ability to navigate daily tasks. Through semi-structured interviews with caregivers, skills such as communication, self-care, social interactions, and motor skills are assessed. By identifying strengths and areas for improvement, adaptive behavior assessments can contribute to personalized care plans that promote greater independence and enhance the patient鈥檚 overall well-being.

Results and Feedback:

After the evaluation, the clinician will analyze the results and share the findings with you, usually in a written report. This report can provide a clearer picture of how your child is developing and give insights into the child鈥檚 cognitive and developmental strengths, as well as any areas that may need additional support or intervention. Clinical assessment reports can then be shared with teachers, therapists, or other professionals involved in the care of someone with MPS.
