Why choose a psychologist?
When you get HIV, you usually go see your general doctor, get some antibiotics, and after a few days, you generally start to feel better. It is a process that most of us know. We find it clear.
But when it comes to tackling your child’s difficulties, be they behavioral, emotional, speech-related or disability-related, the path is not very clear and often. So why, among all the different therapists and intervention models available to you, should you choose a psychologist? Here are some reasons.
A comprehensive and collaborative approach to intervention
Psychologists prioritize giving enough time to get to know you, your family and most importantly your child. Research that explores the specific factors that promote developmental outcomes in early intervention, teaches that children learn better from individuals who know them well, trust and enjoy spending time with them.
Psychologists believe in collaborating with other therapists (for example, speech therapists, senior behavioral therapists) to provide a holistic approach to supporting your child. Moreover, child psychologists believe that parents play a major role in the success of their child’s intervention. Therefore, psychologists aim to work as a team with parents.
Psychologists believe that any skills your child learn during the sessions should extend across all environments in which the child works, such as pre-school, school and home (your child’s natural environment). It is quite good to be able to help your child in the clinic, but if they cannot translate the skills they are learning into a natural environment then this is a problem. Psychologists at the Annie Center put programs for your child to implement across multiple environments to ensure better treatment results.
Evidence-based practice and psychometric assessments
Psychologists insist on the use of treatments, interventions and assessments that are based on solid scientific research. This means that psychologists are constantly involved in more education in order to keep up with the latest research and evidence.
Building a comprehensive, informed picture of you, your family and your child require a comprehensive evaluation process. Psychologists specialize in managing and interpreting psychological assessments, more commonly known as psychometric assessments. These assessments include, but are not limited to, IQ tests, learning and memory assessments, developmental assessments and diagnostic tools (such as diagnostic evaluations for autism), and the use and application of psychometric tests, not only developing a comprehensive and informed picture of your child. But also design your child’s intervention plan to meet their specific needs.
