If your child has been diagnosed with a developmental delay, it means that his or her intellectual abilities are developing at a rate significantly below average in one or more of these areas: cognitive development, physical development, communications development, social or emotional development, or adaptive development.
Overview
As a result, your child might be experiencing difficulty in learning and social adjustment.
Our approach
Physicians and behavioral health specialists at M Health Fairview Masonic Children’s Hospital will perform diagnostic tests on your child to evaluate his or her capabilities in several areas, including fine and gross motor skills, intellectual abilities, speech and language, memory and attention, social skills, and emotional control. Once levels of ability have been documented, we will work with you to determine appropriate treatment options.
