Developmental and Psychological Educational Assessments in Dubai
At Shine Child Development Center in Dubai, we provide expert developmental and psychological assessments that reveal each child’s strengths, challenges, and potential. With over a decade of clinical experience, our licensed psychologists and specialists deliver clear insights that guide personalized therapy, school planning, and long-term success.
Whether it’s developmental delays, emotional concerns, or learning difficulties, our assessments give families the clarity and direction they need to support their child with confidence.
Every journey begins with listening. Our process starts with a detailed consultation where we meet families, understand their concerns, and review the child’s developmental history. This step allows us to:
Identify key areas of concern.
Set realistic goals for assessment.
Ensure families feel supported and informed from the start.
Our consultations are more than a clinical intake—they are the first step in building a partnership of trust between Shine CDC and your family.
We provide comprehensive developmental and psychological assessments in Dubai using internationally recognized tools. Each evaluation is tailored to the child’s age and needs, covering:
Developmental Assessments – Tracking milestones in motor, cognitive, and social-emotional development to identify strengths and detect delays early.
Psychological Assessments – Evaluating emotional and behavioral concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, or mood-related challenges to guide therapy plans.
Educational Assessments – Measuring academic performance, learning preferences, and potential difficulties to support school success.
IQ & Cognitive Testing – Assessing intellectual functioning, processing, and problem-solving to identify giftedness or learning challenges.
Behavioral & Social Functioning – Observing how children manage emotions, adapt in group settings, and interact socially to guide intervention strategies.
These assessments are designed not only to diagnose but also to illuminate each child’s potential.
No two children are alike. After assessments, we design personalized care plans with practical steps that families, therapists, and educators can follow. Each plan includes:
Clear goals for therapy and learning.
Tailored strategies for home and school.
A roadmap for long-term growth and independence.
Our goal is to transform assessment results into actionable strategies that create measurable progress in real life.
At Shine CDC, parents are active partners in every step. We provide:
Detailed feedback sessions after assessments.
Hands-on guidance to implement strategies at home.
Parent training and counseling to manage challenges with confidence.
By equipping families with tools and knowledge, we ensure progress extends beyond therapy sessions into everyday routines.
Children thrive when therapy and education work hand in hand. That’s why we collaborate closely with schools, teachers, and learning support staff to ensure assessment insights are applied in classrooms. We provide:
Individualized Education Plan (IEP) recommendations.
Classroom strategies to support learning and behavior.
Ongoing communication with schools for consistent progress.
This holistic approach ensures children are supported not only at Shine CDC but in every environment where they learn and grow.
