The Developmental Pediatrics practice is devoted to evaluation and treatment of children whose developmental progress is of concern. Among these are children with language delays, autistic spectrum disorders, mental retardation, motor dysfunction, learning disorders, Attention Deficits, and others. There is also an emphasis on Developmental Screening and early provision of services integrated with the family's local community resources. Ongoing monitoring of Developmental Progress is encouraged.
