To carry out an update on the main diagnostic criteria and evaluation procedures-clinical, functional-of behavioural disorders, both psychiatric and neurological aetiology, that may be present in the child population. Methodology. Theoretical-Expositive. Content. The evaluation and diagnosis process is of utmost importance, both in the clinical and educational areas, since it is one of the skills that the specialist must necessarily develop, with the purpose of investigating and preventing the main problems and/or disorders of behaviour, which occur in both children and adolescents. These could be associated with problems of both psychiatric and neurological aetiology, depending on the degree of severity and/or severity of the background present in the family history of the case studied, and which are often not detected correctly, significantly hindering the coexistence and functionality of the patient within different contexts. The discarding of these alterations is of vital importance for the fulfilment and viability of the general and specific objectives of the specialists involved in this area of the children's clinic and pedagogy. In addition, a brief review of the main instruments and measurement parameters that could be very useful, depending on the case (children or adolescents), and the needs that this requires to carry out the process of evaluation and diagnosis of efficient way. Conclusions. The importance of assessment procedures and updated knowledge of the main diagnostic criteria for behavioural disorders will provide the specialist with a set of tools necessary to make successful decisions and generate action plans with realistic goals and objectives.
