Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics

Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics focuses on children’s development, communication, learning, behavior, and emotional well-being.
If you have concerns about speech, social interaction, learning, attention, behavior, or developmental milestones, an assessment can help identify your child’s strengths and areas that may need support.
Yes. I perform comprehensive developmental evaluations for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, developmental delays, and related conditions.
If your child is not meeting expected speech and language milestones or has difficulty understanding or communicating, an early evaluation is recommended.
Yes. Many children struggle with attention, emotional regulation, anxiety, social skills, or behavior despite performing well in school. These concerns can be assessed and managed.
Not every child does. If therapy is recommended, I will explain why, discuss the available options, and coordinate care with speech therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, or other specialists as appropriate.

Appointments

No. You can book an appointment directly for both general pediatric and developmental concerns.
Yes. I welcome families seeking a second opinion regarding diagnoses, treatment plans, developmental concerns, or general pediatric illnesses.
Routine pediatric consultations typically take 15–30 minutes. Developmental assessments are longer, as they involve a detailed history, observation, and discussion with parents.
