About
Created to Thrive provides developmental & behavioral evaluations that, while extremely comprehensive in scope, are specifically tailored to each child’s individual needs and concerns. We believe that every child has the potential to gain new developmental skills and abilities and to learn how to manage their behaviors effectively. Our extensive experience helping children who face a wide variety of developmental and behavioral challenges has shown us that change is possible, especially when a child receives the therapies and services that are most appropriate to meet their unique needs. Our goal is to provide an accurate assessment of each child’s individual developmental and behavioral strengths and weaknesses as this will inform the most appropriate treatment plan and will help ensure the most optimal progress and long-term outcomes. We also provide extensive parent guidance and education to help equip and empower parents to better advocate for their child’s needs, understand how they can support and encourage their child along their developmental journey, and strengthen their relationship with their child. Our desire is for each child, and his or her family, to receive the care, education, and support they need to be able to thrive.
Why should my child see a Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrician?
A Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrician plays a crucial role in the growth and well-being of children, particularly those facing developmental and behavioral challenges. Our goal is not only to address potential issues but also to celebrate and build upon the child's unique abilities and strengths. We see children who have a variety of medical, developmental & behavioral concerns, including children who have:
- Concerns for Developmental delay(s)
- Concerns for Intellectual Disability (ID)
- Concerns for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
- Concerns for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Social & Behavioral concerns/challenges
- Speech & learning concerns/challenges
- High Risk Infants
- Children who have a variety of medical concerns that are known to increase their risk for medical, developmental & behavioral concerns
Services We Provide:
Our “whole-child” approach to care means that we, first and foremost, want to gather whatever information is needed to better understand YOUR child. As the parent /caregiver, YOU are the foremost expert on your child. As such, the information you provide - regarding your child’s medical, developmental, and behavioral history, as well as any observations you have made, or insight you may have - will all be essential to your child’s formal developmental and behavioral evaluation. In addition, it is oftentimes very helpful to gather information from other family members, as well as your child’s teachers, therapists, daycare providers and other service providers (if/when applicable).
Assessments:
Your child’s comprehensive developmental & behavioral evaluation includes the following:
- Acquisition of a detailed developmental history
- To establish a child’s prior developmental trajectory within each developmental domain – including their gross motor, fine motor, speech/language, social, & adaptive functioning skills.
- To ascertain if there have been any deviations in a child’s acquisition of new developmental skills & abilities – from what would be considered “typical” or “expected” – & to determine the timing of any deviations (if present).
- Administration of one or more formal (standardized) developmental assessments.
- This helps to determine each child’s unique developmental profile, outlining their individual strengths & weaknesses across all developmental domains – including their gross motor, fine motor, speech/language, social, and adaptive functioning skills.
- Acquisition of a detailed medical, behavioral, social, educational, therapeutic, and family history.
- Careful consideration of the individual and collective impact of a child’s biologic, genetic, environmental and social factors is an essential part of a thorough developmental and behavioral evaluation because it oftentimes provides context, insight, and better understanding of a child’s developmental profile and any potential underlying causes or contributors to a child’s individual needs & or concerns.
