Answers:
don't worry nothing traumatising, maybe just some stuff about his family, friends, school and home lifeWww@Answer-Health@Com

At first he/she will just talk to the boy!.!.ask questions!. If the therapist suspects ADD (attention disorder deficit) or a possible learning disability there are tests that can be given!. They are all pretty straightforward!. I would imagine the therapist will also want to talk to parents to find out if the same behavior is happening at home!. If you are the parent you have the right to ask what was done, and to get feedback, so you can help your son!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Usually they'll play different games to see how he reacts, and talk to him and ask questions about his family/friends etc!. I used to go when I was about that age, I remember it being really fun!. The one thing I remember doing was having pictures of my mum, dad, sister, best friend and teacher in front of me!. I was asked who I trusted, and I would point, and they continue asking questions like these!. I would have felt terrible if they had asked me t talk about it, but doing it that way didn't bother me!. Don't worry, they know what theiy're doing!. Nothing bad will happen!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

some questions about likes, dislikes, choices they may make in certain situations!. mostly it will probably be observing the behavior displayed by the 9 year oldWww@Answer-Health@Com
