This article aims to provide a graphic advisor for the assessment practices developed in the Courts of Children and Youth, a branch of Brazilian judiciary, especially those conducted with children, based on the report of a supervised internship experience in psychological assessment. The work methodology used in the internship presented many deficits, represented by the constant lack of human and technical resources, material and the disrespect of the features involved in the psychological assessment of children. Given the lack of theoretical and instrumental reference to base the evaluative practice with developing subjects, an organizational chart proposal was built, supported by the direct contact with this demand and by consulting the available literature, able to illustrate and serve as a guide in the election of instruments that can be used compose the child assessment in the Courts. Given the challenges and potentialities identified, it is expected to contribute to the advancement and improvement of psychological assessment with children.
