Development Background

Each child's developmental characteristics are different, and there are many different types of difficulties that arise as a result of interactions with the environment.

Developmental and intelligence testing is a tool to help parents understand their child's characteristics. However, there are limited resources of specialized institutions that can provide specialized psychological testing and assessment, and in some areas, there may be a wait of several months between the time you request a test and the actual implementation of the test. It also takes several weeks to receive the results after the test.

We have developed an online testing service under the supervision of experts that can be used by parents to consider support methods suited to each child, and that allows parents to take the test easily and immediately check specific support plans.
