About Us
Is it just a phase, or something more? We created this space for parents and educators seeking clear, compassionate answers about a child's behavior.
The Journey to Clarity: How VanderbiltAssessment.com Began
It started with a simple question: Why is getting a preliminary understanding of a child's behavior so complicated? We built VanderbiltAssessment.com to provide an accessible, immediate tool based on the official NICHQ scale. By adding optional AI-driven insights, we aim to transform confusing scores into clear, actionable steps for parents and educators.
Early 2024 — A Spark of an Idea
Recognizing the frustration of parents and teachers with manual, paper-based Vanderbilt forms, the idea for an accessible, instant online tool was born.
June 2025 — Official Launch
VanderbiltAssessment.com goes live, focusing on a user-friendly experience that provides immediate, automated standard reports for both parents and teachers.
September 2025 — AI-Powered Insights Introduced
We launch our unique AI-enhanced report, offering deeper, personalized analysis to help translate scores into actionable insights, while always emphasizing it is not a diagnosis.
The Road Ahead: 2026 & Beyond
Our vision is to expand our language support, add more resources for families and schools, and continue refining our tools to make the first step in understanding a child's needs as simple and supportive as possible.

Our Guiding Principle: Clarity Through Compassion
For parents and teachers navigating the uncertainties of a child's behavior, the path can feel isolating. Our mission is to provide an authoritative, easy-to-use online Vanderbilt Assessment that demystifies the screening process. We deliver immediate, understandable results and deeper AI insights, empowering you to have more informed conversations with professionals.
Your Compass for the Next Step
We envision a world where every parent and educator feels equipped, not overwhelmed. We see VanderbiltAssessment.com as more than a tool; it's a compass, pointing towards understanding. It provides the initial direction needed to confidently take the next step in supporting a child's unique journey.
The Pillars of Our Platform
Every feature we build stands on three core pillars. We lead with empathy, ensuring our platform is supportive and accessible. We are grounded in science, using the trusted NICHQ Vanderbilt Assessment as our foundation. And we are fiercely protective of your privacy, because trust is everything.
A Tool for Insight, Not a Diagnosis
We want to be clear: this platform is a screening tool for insight and exploration. It cannot and does not replace a professional medical diagnosis. Your results are best used as a starting point for a productive conversation with a qualified healthcare provider.
Your Privacy is Not an Afterthought
Your data is yours. We build privacy into every step. Your assessment is confidential, we minimize data collection, and we will never sell or share your personal information. That is our unwavering promise.
Built on a Foundation of Trust
Our screening tool isn't based on guesswork. The core assessment is the official NICHQ Vanderbilt Assessment Scale, developed and validated by experts, ensuring the insights you receive are reliable and meaningful.
Our Commitment to You and Your Family
Understanding a child's needs is a deeply personal journey. We promise to be a reliable, empathetic, and scientifically-grounded partner at every step.
Grounded in Evidence
Our platform utilizes the official NICHQ Vanderbilt Assessment Scale, a tool widely trusted by pediatricians and psychologists. While our automated reports provide reliable screening scores, they are intended to inform, not diagnose. They are a starting point for a conversation with a qualified professional.
Designed with Empathy
We know this can be a stressful time. Our process is designed to be straightforward and reassuring, from the clear language in our questions to the simple, easy-to-understand reports. You are not just a user; you are a parent or educator seeking help, and we respect that.
Your Privacy, Protected by Design
Your trust is paramount. All assessments are confidential. We do not require account creation for the standard report, we encrypt your data in transit, and we will never sell your information. Your journey is yours alone.
