Interdisciplinary Evaluation |
|
|
| |
Children referred to the Family Centered Clinic (FCC) are seen by an interdisciplinary team consisting of a pediatrician, psychological clinician and a speech-language pathologist. Many of the children referred to the FCC have involvement in more than one area of functioning. They may experience medical concerns, global delays in language, motor, and cognitive functioning, or significant impairment in any one or combination of these areas. In addition, children with developmental challenges are often exhibiting behavior problems due to their inability to understand, process, and comply with demands and expectations placed on them. Early diagnosis and intervention are important to help the child reach his/her potential. |
