Once you've decided to explore GALS for your child, the next step is usually a first assessment. Being a little prepared beforehand -- in terms of what to bring and what to expect -- can make this step feel less daunting.
Earlier Reports and Records
If your child has already seen a paediatrician, developmental specialist, speech therapist or psychologist, bringing along any existing reports or notes can help our team build a fuller picture, though it is not compulsory to have these.
A Simple Note on Your Observations
Jotting down a few specific examples of what you've noticed at home or school -- such as particular behaviours, communication patterns or routines -- is often more useful during the assessment than trying to remember everything on the spot.
What Our Team Looks At
Dr. Murli Singh notes that the assessment looks at communication, social interaction and daily routines together, rather than focusing on just one area, so there is no need to prepare for a single specific test.
