Behavioral & Developmental Care

Despite all the love and care they receive from their parents and family, some children have developmental, learning, or behavioral problems, such as:

• Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Toddler temper tantrums
• Sleep disorders
• Disruptive/ aggressive behaviors
• Attention deficit /hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) 
• Learning disorders
• Delayed development in speech, writing, motor skills, and thinking ability
• Addiction (screen time, smoking/vaping, and drug or alcohol use)

Dealing with these problems can be challenging for even the most attentive and competent parents. Thankfully, our pediatricians at Pediatrics in Brevard have the experience to provide the medical and psychological support families need to tackle these behavioral problems. Services provided may include:

• Screening for developmental delays and autism using standardized screening tools during infancy, toddlerhood, and early childhood.
• Prescribing and monitoring medication if your child has an issue such as ADHD.
• Helping you understand the reason for your child’s behavior in order to formulate discipline strategies.
• Assist parents with obtaining school 504 plans or Individual Education Plans (IEPs).
• Recommending accommodations and services at your child’s school, as well as therapies outside the classroom.
• Making appropriate referrals for further evaluations, treatments, or therapies.
