Developmental Evaluations for Your Child
Our research project performs tasks with children in order to collect data. We are not licensed in any way to diagnose children. If you have concerns about any aspect of your child's development or for any other reason would like your child to have a developmental evaluation, there are a number of agencies and private practices that will provide these services. We list some of them here, for your information. Please remember that the STAR Project staff does not work directly with any of these agencies or practices and therefore cannot recommend any specific organization.
