Our Consultation Process

In our Developmental Consultations, we address a wide range of areas, including:

Intros & Information Gathering

Introductions and Information Gathering
  • The consultation begins with introductions and an opportunity for you to share your child's medical history, birth details, and any specific concerns or observations you have noticed about their development.
  • We also gather information about your family's background, including any relevant genetic or environmental factors that may influence your child's development.
Developmental History

Developmental History
  • We delve into your child's developmental history, covering various domains such as motor skills, communication and language, social-emotional development, cognitive abilities, and sensory processing.
  • Questions about your child's milestones, interactions with family members and peers, and any challenges they may be facing will help us gain a comprehensive understanding of their overall development.
Observation & Assessment

Observation and Assessment
  • Our experienced clinicians will conduct a thorough observation of your child's behavior, interactions, and play skills during the consultation.
  • We use standardized assessment tools, age-appropriate play activities, and observations to evaluate your child's developmental progress and identify any potential areas of concern.
Screening & Evaluation

Screening and Evaluation
  • Based on the information gathered and the observations made, we may administer specific developmental screening tests to further assess your child's strengths and areas that require attention.
  • These screenings can help identify potential developmental delays, sensory issues, communication challenges, or other developmental disorders.
Caregiver Guidance and Education

Parent/Caregiver Guidance and Education
  • As part of the initial consultation, we understand the importance of supporting parents and caregivers in fostering their child's development.
  • Our team will provide guidance, strategies, and educational resources tailored to your child's specific needs and challenges.
  • We encourage open communication and provide a supportive environment to address any questions or concerns you may have as parents or caregivers.
Recommendations & Follow-up

Recommendations and Follow-up
  • At the end of the consultation, we will provide you with a summary of our findings and recommendations based on your child's assessment.
  • This may include suggestions for further evaluations, therapies, interventions, or referrals to other specialists, if necessary.
  • We will work with you to develop an individualized plan to support your child's ongoing development and growth.
