Diagnosing Developmental Issues in Children
Our pediatric specialists conduct a thorough evaluation of your child’s developmental health using various diagnostic tools and structured tasks. The process involves a detailed discussion about your child’s symptoms, developmental milestones, and medical history, including when they started talking, feeding, and more. Based on this comprehensive evaluation, your doctor may recommend further tests for a clearer diagnosis.
Managing Developmental Problems
The treatment approach depends on the specific developmental issue, its cause, the child’s age, family history, and overall health. At Yupiter Hospital, we offer personalized management plans that include strategies and therapies to be implemented both at home and in clinical settings. Some conditions may require medication, while others can be managed through lifestyle changes and behavioral therapies.
