Pediatric Developmental Services

Children with hearing loss experience delayed development in language, learning and speech. Hearing problems should be identified as early as possible so that appropriate services can be started.

Additionally, all children who did not receive a newborn hearing screening, or did not pass a screening at some point, should have their hearing evaluated.

Are you concerned with your child’s behavior? Are you curious if the behavior is normal or a sign of something else? Are you experiencing frustration and feelings of being overwhelmed when your child acts out and you are unsure of what to do?

We offer a range of behavior and early intervention services, including group classes for all parents and/or individual sessions to address specific or concerning behaviors a child may be demonstrating.

Therapy providers who specialize in early childhood and treatment for developmental delays can evaluate and offer ongoing therapy for children with developmental needs. All services are offered in a supportive and play-based environment and include parent/caregiver participation. Services are provided for children experiencing delays in their development, including children with specific diagnoses/concerns such as failure to thrive, autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and other delays and disorders.

It’s important to continue to attend your child’s recommended check-ups. Although many pediatric appointments are available through telehealth, some appointments, such as well-child visits and regular immunizations, can only be performed in person. We’ve taken extra precautions to protect the health and safety of you and your family when you come to our clinics for these appointments.
