According to new guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics, we now are using developmental screens above and beyond our usual screening techniques in order to better discover subtle delays in speech, social and motor development.  

These new tools will add another layer of protection for your child,
in that we will be better able to identify children with mild delays and get them early intervention services such as First Steps.  

Studies have shown that the earlier we identify delays in children
and start helping them in these areas, the more successful they are in school and the better they fit in with their peers.

These new tools will also help us identify children with Autism and Autistic-like features at earlier ages.  

We try very hard to make your child's 'Medical Home' as comprehensive and thorough as possible. With these new tools, we feel we are taking the care we provide for your child yet one step further.
