I believe Assessments are very important for early identification of exceptionalities in children. Not all assessments identify where children are lacking in cognitive abilities but also where they may be advanced in those areas as well. So, children benefit from assessments by receiving the necessary accommodations.
Here is an interesting article about how the country of Africa is using Cognitive Assessments for children more and more everyday.
