A Specialist Child Assessment by CATS provides a comprehensive evaluation of children’s emotions, experiences, and responses to trauma, attachment, and ACEs. Using tailored techniques—story completion, drawing, and interviews—our skilled assessors work compassionately with children to understand their perceptions and identify triggers. This process includes parent questionnaires, background review, and structured analysis, culminating in a detailed report with personalised therapy and support recommendations. The assessment empowers families with insight, actionable steps, and collaborative strategies to foster emotional well-being and resilience.
