We firmly believe that early screening for developmental issues and behavioral conditions is vital for children to reach their full potential. Our pediatricians conduct thorough in-clinic screenings at routine check-ups which include regular assessments to catch any concerns or delays in social skills, speech, coordination and other issues with growth. We utilize age-appropriate screening tools recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and developmental checklist questionnaires individualized to your child’s age and risk factors.
At 18 months, we specifically conduct expanded screenings to evaluate communication, sensory issues, and key areas connected to autism and related disorders. At 4 and 5 year well visits we carefully assess school readiness along with cognitive, attention, behavioral and emotional milestones essential for academic achievement through validated screening instruments. Should any aspect raise concerns for disorders like ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, or others impacting development, we can promptly have your child evaluated by speech, behavioral and occupational therapists and other specialists to determine next steps. We assist families in accessing early intervention programs and creating pediatric treatment plans catered to their child’s challenges.
With developmental delays and conditions such as autism, the earlier specialized services can begin the more progress is possible as young minds are so adaptable. We are fully dedicated to timely detection to open doors to support and resources when they matter most. Our compassionate, highly experienced healthcare providers will fully explain screening outcomes and are here in partnership with families to foster developmental gains and positive health trajectories from the first days of life onward. Please ask us how we can best assist your child in achieving their potential.
