Quick answer
A behavioural assessment is a structured evaluation of specific behaviours, such as anger, avoidance, impulsivity or conflict, to understand when they happen, what triggers them and what purpose they serve. Using interviews, questionnaires and information from others where helpful, a clinician develops practical recommendations and strategies for change.
Behavioural assessments are available for teens and adults, and can include input from family members or others involved.
