Attachment Evaluation/Bonding Evaluation

This is a comprehensive assessment that evaluates the quality of the caregiver-child relationship, the strengths and challenges of the caregiver, and how well the child uses the caregiver as a secure base/safe haven. An Attachment Assessment provides only one critical piece of information in an overall evaluation: the quality and nature of the caregiver-child dyad using research based and widely accepting scientific procedures to make the determinations. The purpose of this assessment is to provide information on the child’s development and recommendations to assist with a smooth adjustment to the current custody situation and promote a child’s healthy development.
