What is Developmental Pediatrics?

Developmental pediatrics focuses on understanding and addressing delays, disorders, or concerns related to a child’s physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. These challenges can range from mild delays in speech or motor skills to complex developmental conditions such as autism or ADHD. Early identification and intervention are key to helping children overcome these challenges and thrive.
