The Developmental Pediatric Clinic evaluates children who have developmental,
academic and/or behavioral difficulties and other special issues such as
cerebral palsy, which may be associated with learning problems. The
goal is to generate a profile and an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan that reflects the input
from all the team members, including the parents. The family plays the
key role in the evaluation - a family centered approach is utilized.
Usually, the developmental pediatrician evaluates the child initially and
upon his referral, the patient is seen by other specialists within, and
occasionally outside of, our clinic setting. A parent conference is
arranged for discussion and specific recommendations,
with most children returned to the referring physician or agency for care.
We try and liaison as well with schools, etc. and their representatives may
attend the parent conferences.
Pediatric Residents and Third Year Medical Students rotate through the
Developmental Pediatric Clinic as do students from a variety of other
disciplines like speech/language pathology.
Referrals are usually generated by physicians and other community professionals. |
