Regular Developmental Screenings for Optimal Growth

We strongly urge parents to schedule routine developmental screenings for their children. These can ensure your little one reaches their full potential and can overcome any obstacles that stand in the way. The Florida Pediatric Group, serving Melbourne and West Melbourne, FL, and the nearby region, can perform these assessments to help your child maximize their abilities.

What Developmental Screenings Consist Of

 You’ll visit us regularly for well-child visits. Particularly in the younger years, we’ll ask what skills your child has mastered and to what degree. For instance, we’ll want to know their first words and when they start walking.

These assessments focus on social-emotional, cognitive, verbal, and physical skills.

Based on your answers, we can monitor your child.  

Early Intervention Is Vital

 When you come into our West Melbourne, FL, office, we can diagnose a developmental delay early. Sometimes, the course of action is to follow along with your child’s progress to determine if they have a delay accurately. 

When a delay occurs, we can intervene early, refer you to the right resources, or treat it accordingly.

Early intervention leads to the best prognosis in every case. 

Provide Guidance

 As we get to know your child, we can provide customized advice for them.

Sometimes, it’s not an actual delay. Your child will master the milestone on their own terms. However, you can provide a little guidance. If you’re unsure how to proceed, we can educate you on the most effective methods to assist your child.

Monitor Progress

 Over time, we can monitor the progress your child is making. As we do, we can change the treatment to match your child’s specific needs at each stage.

Prevent Frustration in You

 Worrying about if your child is on track with other kids can be nerve-wracking. We remove that stress by monitoring your child’s progress versus other children’s age. We can inform you that your little one is keeping up or could use an extra push.

And if you’ve run out of ideas for getting your child to hit certain milestones, we can guide you through techniques.

The Florida Pediatric Group, serving Melbourne and West Melbourne, FL, and the general vicinity, offers developmental screenings. We’re available to assist if your child should have a condition that affects their development.
