Developmental and Behavioral Concerns
At Great Destinations Pediatrics, we understand that watching your child grow is a journey filled with both joy and questions. Our team is dedicated to partnering with you to ensure your child reaches their full potential. We offer expert, personalized care to evaluate developmental milestones, differentiate normal toddler tantrums from developmental delays or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and provide guidance, referrals, and support for your child’s unique needs.
Developmental Monitoring & Pediatric Evaluations
Every child develops at their own pace, but it is normal to have questions or concerns about your child’s progress. At Great Destinations Pediatrics, we are dedicated to partnering with you to monitor your child’s physical, socioemotional, and cognitive growth. Whether you have concerns about physical or speech delays, behavioral outbursts, or sensory processing, our experienced pediatricians provide thorough evaluations to ensure your child receives the right support.
Our Developmental Services Include:
Milestone Monitoring: Comprehensive tracking of physical, socioemotional and cognitive milestones from infancy through adolescence.
- Behavioral Assessment: Help in differentiating normal toddler tantrums, defiance, or impulsivity from potential underlying neurodevelopmental conditions.
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Screening: Early identification of signs related to social, communication and behavioral problems.
