Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics
Helping Children Thrive with Personalized Developmental and Behavioral Support
Developmental-behavioral pediatrics is a specialized field focused on the comprehensive care of children with developmental and behavioral challenges. At Marshall Health, our team of experts is dedicated to supporting children and their families with a holistic approach that addresses both the medical and psychosocial aspects of development.
Comprehensive Evaluations
We provide thorough assessments to understand your child’s unique developmental and behavioral needs. Our evaluations cover a wide range of areas, including:
- Cognitive and learning abilities
- Social and emotional development
- Communication skills
- Motor skills
- Behavioral concerns
Individualized Treatment Plans
Based on the evaluation results, we create personalized treatment plans tailored to your child’s specific needs. This approach allows us to address challenges, remove obstacles, and identify strategies to support your child in reaching their full potential at home, school and in other social environments. Treatment plans may include behavioral therapy; speech and language therapy; occupational therapy; educational support; and/or family counseling.
Our team offers regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans as needed. We also provide resources and guidance to help families navigate their child’s developmental journey.
