Pediatric
Developmental Behavioral Services
The
specialty of developmental behavioral pediatrics addresses
common developmental and behavioral problems in childhood
such as speech delay, temper tantrums, learning concerns
and developmental delay as well as more complex disorders
such as autism or attention deficit disorder. The specialists
work in cooperation with other subspecialists such as
pediatric neurology, pediatric genetics, pediatric neuropsychology
and child psychiatry to provide a state-of-the-art assessment
of the child's problem.
We
utilize a team approach to assess and develop a family-centered
treatment plan for the child by working closely with
the family, child's primary care physician, early intervention
program, school, therapists and other medical and non-medical
specialists. The group has a long history of working
successfully in partnership with local school districts,
local agencies as well as the state of Illinois Early
Intervention Program in order to help children achieve
their best.
