Some children require assessment from a number of developmental specialists.
Such children frequently present with multiple or complex symptoms and unclear etiology. In such cases, interdisciplinary team assessments are made available whereby such specialists in the fields of Developmental Pediatrics, Child Psychology, Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Social Work and Genetics can provide comprehensive evaluations and a unified treatment plan. Although many of these children ar initially seen by an individual specialist, Team Assessments are scheduled routinely through Ms. Kenny, EFMP Social Worker. The scope of this clinic is to screen and evaluate the neurodevelopmental function of infants with identified neonatal risk factors for developmental delay and potential long term disabilities. Services offered include diagnostic evaluation, parental education and referral to appropriate community services as needed.
