| Summary: | The Developmental Pediatrics team at Inova Children’s has unique expertise in caring for children with impairments of typical brain function that often impact their behavior, memory, and ability to learn. These disorders often first appear in early childhood as cognitive, motor, social, and behavioral problems that affect daily life, including school and family. Developmental Pediatrics is a subspecialty of pediatrics and neurology but does not take the place of primary care for our patients. Patients should continue to receive care in their medical homes. When accepting new patients, we will start with patients up to the age of 16. We will follow existing patients through 22 years of age. The Developmental Pediatrics team is comprised of a board-certified neurodevelopmental pediatric specialist along with nurse practitioners and a clinical psychologist. | |
