Developmental-behavioral pediatricians focus on your child’s physical, mental and emotional changes from birth into adulthood. As a child grows, their speech, intelligence and motor skills progress over time. Some children may experience developmental delays caused by a learning difficulty, attention disorder or a congenital condition. Developmental-behavioral pediatricians at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent specialize in the early diagnosis and treatment of pediatric developmental disorders. Your child’s first appointment starts with a conversation between you, your child and your child’s doctor. Tell us your concerns and ask us your questions – big and small. We start with a diagnosis and work with you to create a care plan that’s right for your child and family.
If you or your child’s doctor notices your child isn’t learning or behaving the way other children their age do, talk to a Developmental-Behavioral pediatrician at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital.
