What does a developlmental pediatrician do when evaluating a child?
A developmental pediatrician will typically spend at least an hour or two with a child to conduct an initial evaluation. They will interview parents about a child’s developmental history, habits, abilities and challenges. Once the evaluation is completed a developmental pediatrician will provide a full report and a specific diagnosis when appropriate. Families may also receive recommendations for treatment, help finding therapists, and guidance in choosing educational settings.
