Neurodevelopmental disabilities happen when a child’s brain, spinal cord and nerves (central nervous system) don’t develop as they should. These long-term conditions can affect your child’s ability to learn, speak, play and work, later in life.
At Children's Health℠, our experienced specialists have advanced training to support healthy brain development in infants, children, teens and young adults (up to age 22). With a team approach, we bring together deep expertise in several specialties to provide a thorough assessment, diagnosis and treatment.
Our team helps children with developmental disabilities such as rare genetic disorders and conditions that affect feeding, swallowing, speech, language, motor, social and thinking skills. We work closely with your family to create a comprehensive, personalized plan to help your child learn and grow.
