Synopsis

Developmental and behavioural paediatrics is the assessment of children to ascertain their developmental status. This includes speech and language delay, learning difficulties, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and social communication disorders, including Asperger’s Syndrome and Autism. Accurate diagnosis means that children, and their parents, can be given the appropriate support and advice required to ensure the best possible therapy and support (BMI Healthcare).
