Early diagnosis and intervention are vital to ensure that children realize their maximum potential. The earlier a child receives attention, the better the opportunity for an improved outcome.
Developmental Pediatrics’ primary purpose is to help families better understand the developmental needs of their children and enable them to most effectively stimulate, encourage, and provide for their child’s physical, intellectual and emotional growth.
We understand that dealing with difficult developmental problems has a profound impact not only on the child, but on the entire family.
