Your child sees a pediatrician regularly, but do you know that a Developmental Pediatrician plays an important and complimentary role to E.I., C.P.S.E/S.E. and obtaining services? When there is a delay in achieving milestones, a Developmental Pediatrician is a valuable resource in diagnosing medical problems and identifying symptoms. Families need a clear and definite set of symptoms to understand what may have caused the problem to occur and why their child is having difficulties. A Developmental Pediatrician evaluates the delays and problems that a child is having, and suggests medical treatments (medications, therapeutic equipment) that would improve the child’s functioning and progress. The information provided by the Developmental Pediatrician empowers families to advocate for their child in school, in social settings and every facet of their life.
