Reason for Recommended Action/Background

Bonding Assessments assess the nature and quality of children’s attachment relationships to his or her birth parents, siblings, or caregiver, including identification of who is the primary attachment figure for a child, and the quality of that relationship.  Bonding Assessments explore the children’s capacity for a secure attachment, and if a designated parent or caregiver can meet the child’s need regarding nurture, structure, engagement, and opposition. Bonding Assessments will also explore who is central in children’s emotional life and determine the quality of that relationship. Bonding Assessments can identify if the primary attachment can be transferred to a new caregiver and/or emotional and psychological risks or benefits to the children if the relationship with a caregiver or parent is severed.  Bonding Assessments identify any secondary attachment figures, and the quality of the relationships with secondary attachment figures.  Lastly, a bonding assessment may provide mental health treatment recommendations.
