Developmental Pediatrics
Our providers have undergone specialized training in developmental and behavioral pediatrics, enabling them to address a wide range of developmental needs. We specialize in providing comprehensive neurodevelopmental evaluations and treatment, ensuring that each child receives a thorough and accurate diagnosis in identifying any challenges or delays.
Our multidisciplinary approach involves collaboration with other specialties such as psychology, psychiatry, neurology and therapy services to create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your child's specific needs. By integrating insights and expertise from various fields, we address the multifaceted nature of ADHD, encompassing medical, behavioral and educational interventions.
Our goal is to support the child’s overall development and well-being, ensuring that they have access to the best possible care and resources. This collaborative approach helps children with neurodevelopmental disorders thrive in all aspects of their lives and reach their full potential.
Developmental Pediatrics has specialized clinics and programs to help support your child, including:
- Autism Program (under the age of four for evaluation)
- Down Syndrome Clinic
- Fragile X Clinic
- NEST Clinic
We evaluate children from birth to 18 years of age. During your child's assessment, our focus is to identify their unique strengths and provide appropriate resources and support.
The evaluation begins with a comprehensive review of your child's medical, developmental, behavioral, social and family history. This comprehensive view is crucial for understanding your child’s overall situation, including their family, community and school environments, and includes physical and neurological examinations.
As part of an evaluation, we may use a mix of standardized tests, questionnaires, observations and hands-on activities to assess development. These assessments could be direct interactions with your child or more observational in nature, such as watching your child play and interact with their family. Sometimes these evaluations are better facilitated through the use of telehealth medicine, where the child may be more comfortable in their own home environment.
