  • Developmental delays, or
  • Cognitive concerns.

Your child will meet with one or more members of our team, which brings together multiple providers from different specialties. These are the following disciplines:

  • Developmental pediatrics
  • Speech and language pathology
  • Occupational therapy
  • Physical therapy
  • Psychology

Providers at the CDP do not replace your child’s primary care provider (PCP). We work in partnership with your child’s PCP. 大发娱乐与您孩子的PCP分享大发娱乐评估的所有文件,以便大发娱乐可以作为一个团队来支持您孩子的发展.

大发娱乐的儿科医生可能会为您的孩子进行随访和药物管理,以协助您的PCP进行持续护理.
