The neurodevelopmental assessment involved in the evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents with various developmental, behavioral, attention and learning problems is a comprehensive process. It entails obtaining a detailed birth, developmental, medical, behavior, school, family and psychosocial history. Behavior rating scales from parents and teachers provide valuable and critical information that assists in the diagnostic and evaluation process. The physical and neurologic examination, developmental assessment using age-specific, standardized tests/tools and clinical observation/direct patient interaction provide objective clinical data. The information that is gathered from all these various sources and assessment modalities is then analyzed and interpreted to make a diagnosis and provide treatment recommendations to the parents and school.
My personal approach to care is one that strives for holistic, individualized, culturally sensitive, compassionate and competent care for my patients and their families. I believe in the importance of maintaining open lines of communication and supporting parents so that I’m available and accessible to them if they have questions or concerns. I try to explain to parents their child's condition in understandable terms and provide direction by giving them concrete and practical recommendations. Regardless of where the parents are at the time of diagnosis, I offer them encouragement, support and commend their efforts in taking that first step of having their child evaluated.
