Behavioral evaluation is a systematic process used to assess an individual's actions, reactions, and interactions in various situations. This method often involves observing behaviors in real-life contexts or structured settings, allowing professionals to gather objective data about a person's emotional and social functioning. The results of a behavioral evaluation can help identify strengths and areas for improvement, guiding interventions or support strategies. It is commonly used in fields such as psychology, education, and mental health to better understand individuals, including children and adults, and to inform treatment plans or educational approaches.
