The developmental pediatric program at Memorial looks specifically at how a child is progressing through the developmental sequence during the critical years from birth through age 6.
The Program
Our developmental pediatrics program offers focused and individualized assessments and developmental therapy in the effort to promote motor, sensory, cognitive, language, feeding and self-help skills. Treatment may include physical, occupational and speech therapy.
With a prescription from the physician, our team of developmental therapy specialists can evaluate a child and identify his or her specific needs. This allows us, along with the family, to develop an intervention plan to help the child overcome challenges and improve the quality of his or her interactions with the environment.
Because early detection is so important, we have included a downloadable checklist of early childhood developmental milestones to help you determine if a child is at risk for developmental delay. If you feel your child is at risk, please contact your child's primary physician.
