A well-conducted observation is one thanks to which we can look at the child holistically - not only in terms of developmental spheres, but also his medical conditions, environmental conditions, preferences and predispositions, established patterns of behavior and relationships, as well as the social, situational and pragmatic context. Observation should help therapists understand the causes and effects of deviations from the norm in behavior, relationships or communication. In addition to the child's profile tests, it should allow for determining the level of functioning of patients, taking into account disorders and deficits.

The following description of conducting observation includes children in preschool age (from 5 years of age) and school age (up to 10 years). At this time, the main processes conditioning the proper functioning of a human being have already been completed. However, this period is equally intensive for developing further competences and consolidating the basic skills acquired by the child up to the age of 5, as well as shaping further spheres on their foundation. Observation of patients at this biological age is extremely important from the point of view of the development of basic functioning spheres as well as acquired competences, skills and knowledge.
