Answer to Question 1

 Interview child, teacher, and parents to get different perspectives on the issues related to these behaviors
 Observe the child in the clinic and in their natural environment (home, school) to directly assess the nature of the problem
 Standardized testing (IQ test, achievement test, projective tests, self-report) to compare child's issues to others the same age, gender, and perhaps similar behavioral issues; helps in determining if this child's problems are developmentally typical

Answer to Question 2
