What is Developmental Assessment & Therapy?
This service evaluates your child's speech, motor, social or cognitive milestones and, where needed, connects them with early intervention therapy to support their development.
Starting therapy early, when a delay is identified, gives children the best chance to catch up on developmental milestones.

The Care Pathway

4. Progress Review
Ongoing evaluation tracks progress and adjusts the plan as needed.
“Our pediatric care team supports your child and family through every stage, from evaluation to recovery and follow-up.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Risks
The primary goal is to support your child in reaching their developmental potential. Many children make meaningful progress with early, consistent support.
Every treatment has potential risks. Your child's care team will discuss individual risks before treatment.
Recovery & Follow-up
Progress varies by child, with many families noticing improvement over months of consistent therapy.
Your child's care plan includes regular therapy sessions, home practice guidance for parents, and periodic reassessment of progress.
Careful monitoring, follow-up visits and parent guidance all play an important role in achieving the best possible outcome for your child.
