The project aims to develop and test an assessment plan capable of "photographing" the psycho-physical-relational health of infants and children, in order to monitor their cognitive, behavioral and affective-relational development processes.
This plan consists of multidisciplinary assessments (medical, psychological, pedagogical) and involves both people with a significant relationship with the child and professionals outside the reference structure in which the child is inserted.
The assessment plan is a fundamental device to be able to design and implement the most targeted aim (because it is "digestible") intervention and care model for each individual child through educational, therapeutic and empowerment experiences.
