Behavior Assessment for Children in Kuwait
Behavior assessment is a specialized service at Little Faris Center in Salmiya for children and families across Kuwait — the right starting point before any behavior modification program in an early intervention journey. Many behaviors that puzzle parents have clear causes once we pause and observe: what happens before the behavior, and what does the child get after it? During assessment sessions we observe your child in different situations, listen to the details of their day from you, and use specialized measures when needed. The result is not just a description of the problem — it is a precise understanding of your child’s needs and realistic, measurable goals we agree on together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between behavior assessment and behavior modification?
Behavior assessment is the understanding phase: we observe behavior, analyze its causes and function in the child’s life, and define needs precisely. Behavior modification is the action phase: a practical program built on assessment results to reinforce positive behavior and reduce challenging behavior. Assessing first ensures the program treats the real cause, not just the outward appearance.
How is a child’s behavior actually assessed?
The specialist gathers information from three angles: direct observation of your child during play and varied situations at the center, a detailed parent interview about routines and behavior at home, and specialized behavioral measures when needed. The information is then analyzed to understand what precedes and reinforces the behavior, and recommendations are built on it.
Will we need to re-assess behavior later?
Often yes — and that is a good thing. As your child progresses through their program, their needs change, and periodic review ensures goals remain suitable and the plan keeps pace with development. We only re-assess when it genuinely serves your child, and we always explain the reason for any step before taking it.
