Developmental delay concerns
Dr. Renata Alves · Developmental Pediatrician, MD
If you have been quietly keeping a mental list of things that feel “off,” that instinct is worth listening to.
Your child is behind expected milestones for talking, walking, playing, or social interaction, and it has not caught up on its own.
Your child's pediatrician has flagged a concern and recommended a more in-depth developmental evaluation.
You started this process a while ago and are still waiting to be seen, while your child's needs have not paused in the meantime.
A teacher or daycare has mentioned differences in attention, behavior, or development that you had already been noticing at home.
Therapy, school accommodations, or other supports your child needs require a formal developmental or medical diagnosis first.
You have brought up your concerns before and left feeling dismissed. That alone is reason enough to seek a second, more thorough opinion.
A developmental pediatrician looks at your child’s medical, developmental, behavioral, and learning profile together.
A comprehensive look at social communication, play, and behavior patterns to reach a clear diagnostic picture.
Assessment of attention, impulsivity, and activity level across settings, not just what you see at home.
Evaluation of language, motor, cognitive, and social development when more than one area seems behind.
Developmental concerns connected to a genetic syndrome, prematurity, or other medical history.
Difficulty with emotional regulation, transitions, or behavior that goes beyond typical developmental stages.
A fresh, thorough evaluation when a previous assessment left you with more questions than answers.
No calling around, no months-long waitlist, and no more wondering where to start.
Answer a few questions about milestones, concerns, and the support you are looking for.
We help you find a vetted developmental pediatrician who fits your child’s needs and location.
Connect with the provider who feels right for your family and begin the evaluation process.
The goal is a clear picture of your child, not a rushed checklist or a single isolated symptom.
A detailed look at your child's medical, developmental, and family history, including everything you have already noticed.
Structured, standardized assessment of your child's communication, behavior, motor skills, and play.
Your observations as a parent are treated as clinical information, not just background noise before the “real” assessment.
A written summary of findings and any diagnosis, so you finally have a name for what you have been carrying alone.
Recommendations for therapy, school support, or further specialists, based on what your child specifically needs.
Documentation you can bring to school, insurance, or therapy providers without having to fight for it.
We'd rather tell you plainly how this works than let you find out partway through booking.
These visits are private pay. You'll know the cost upfront, with no insurance approval to wait on.
Skipping insurance authorization is how we get families evaluated in weeks instead of months, a trade-off worth being upfront about.
