A child study is a comprehensive look at a child’s developmental progress. It is used to determine if a child could potentially have a developmental delay or disability. A child study summarizes the information available from all sources: child, parents, teachers, and specialists. Also, questions are answered and raised through the process of gathering data and information for the child study.

Some studies are brief and geared to one developmental or teaching issue while other studies are complex and include formal assessment. If the child is found to have “special needs,” the results from the child study can be used to provide them with the supports, interventions, and services that they need.
