When evaluating, we focus on the autistic behaviors that interfere with the person\u2019s daily life (ex. deficits in reciprocal conversation) in order to recommend new objectives. We can also evaluate cognitive and adaptive skills by comparing the child to his typical peers in order to make recommendations on the interventions and objectives to put in place.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_icon position=&#8221;left&#8221; icon=&#8221;fa fa-puzzle-piece&#8221; size=&#8221;fa-5x&#8221; text_size=&#8221;h5&#8243; title=&#8221;Cognitive and Adaptive Behaviour Evaluations&#8221;][\/vc_icon][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]Cognitive evaluations are what we commonly refer to as \u2018IQ testing\u2019. They can be performed as a standalone evaluation, if there are concerns about intellectual abilities for example, or as part of a more complex evaluation (<em>School derogations, <\/em>\u00a0ASD, ADHD etc.). In some cases, cognitive evaluations are used along with an adaptive functioning evaluation. Cognitive evaluations allow us to understand a person\u2019s strength and weaknesses which in turn, allows us to individualize specific recommendations based on the specific profile obtained. Furthermore, they are often the starting point of an evaluation, and allow to narrow down our hypothesis, and orient future evaluations if needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Types of cognitive and adaptive behavior evaluations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Commonly used tests vary based on the situation and type of assessment required.
