Helping Children Succeed
Child development is the physical, emotional and intellectual progress your child makes as they grow older. If your child has chronic behavioral problems, trouble learning or developmental delays, they may be referred to a child development specialist for some extra help. We treat children from infancy through adolescence and help determine what causes these challenges.
Developmental and behavioral disorders are among the most common conditions in pediatrics. At Lee Health we provide families with education to understand a developmental/behavioral diagnosis, support to cope with some of the challenges, and assistance finding resources for therapies and other interventions.
