Evaluation and Testing Applications
Determining the cognitive, emotional, social, and developmental strengths and support needs of children is the crucial first step in creating an individualized and effective intervention plan. To achieve this, I utilize a variety of standardized tests and observational assessment tools to establish the child’s developmental profile.
I am experienced in the administration and interpretation of tests commonly used in the Netherlands.

Psychological Testing Process and Our Goal
The assessment tools used are carefully selected based on the child’s age, developmental level, and specific area of need.
The outcomes of these tests and evaluations are used to:
Develop the child’s individual developmental profile.
Prepare an implementable personal development/goal plan in collaboration with the family.
Applied Assessment Tools
I apply comprehensive tools covering different developmental domains:
1. Intelligence and Cognitive Assessment Tests
These tests aim to profile the child’s cognitive abilities, problem-solving skills, and memory:

WPPSI-IV-NL: Cognitive development in the preschool period.
SON-R 212-7/6-40: Language-independent intelligence assessment.
KABC-II-NL: Measures problem-solving, planning, and memory skills.
Raven’s Progressive Matrices: Non-verbal intelligence measurement.
2. Development, Emotion, and Behavior Assessments
These evaluations assess the child’s emotional state, behavioral difficulties, and adaptive skills in daily life:
CBCL: Behavior assessment (based on parent/teacher observation).
BASC-3: Emotion, behavior, and social skills profile.
Vineland-3: Measures daily living and adaptive skills.
Bayley-III: Developmental assessment for early childhood.

3. Language, Academic, and Social Skills Tests
These tests focus on areas such as language comprehension, expression, academic achievement, and vocabulary:
