Many assessment principles are the same for children and adults; however, unlike with adults/older adults, where consent for par�cipa�on in the assessment comes from the actual client, with children it is the parents or guardians who must make the decision for treatment. Issues of confiden�ality, privacy, and consent must be addressed. When working with children, it is not only important to be able to connect with the pediatric pa�ent, but also to be able to collaborate effec�vely with the caregivers, other family members, teachers, and school counselors/psychologists, all of whom will be able to provide important context and details to aid in your assessment and treatment plans.
Some children/adolescents may be more difficult to assess than adults, as they can be less psychologically minded. That is, they have less insights into themselves and their mo�va�ons than adults (although this is not universally true). The PMHNP must also take into considera�on the child’s culture and environmental context. Addi�onally, with children/adolescents, there are lower rates of neurocogni�ve disorders superimposed on other clinical condi�ons, such as depression or anxiety, which create addi�onal diagnos�c challenges.
