Unique Profile
Every assessment is perceived as "high stakes" by young children because outcomes heavily impact their fragile self-esteem and emotional identity.
Shared behavioral realities include involuntary enrollment, short attention spans, highly specific personal interests, and non-linear progression.
Children exhibit high vulnerability to flaws in testing, making a supportive, success-oriented approach mandatory.
