The process differs between areas.

But they are likely to take a history - e.g. developmental history, pregnancy/birth, nursery history, family history. It can help to make some notes about this and any concerns you have.

They will observe DD. They may have tasks they try to get DD to engage with.

They may want to examine DD. Sometimes they want bloods or to refer for other tests/to other professionals.
