We also integrate data gathered by other

including Audiology, Child Neurology, Child Psychology,
Genetics, Speech/Language Pathology, OT, PT Special Education,
and other child development specialists. Thus, we assist
parents in developing a comprehensive view of their child's
developmental needs.
What
we do not do:
|
We
do not provide general medical care. This is the
responsibility of the child's primary care physician.
|
|
We
do not provide emergency care. This is also the
responsibility of the child's primary care physician. |
|
We
do not provide intervention services (Speech, OT, PT,
behavioral therapy, etc.) |
|
In
keeping with our commitment to follow generally accepted
principles of medical therapeutics, we do not prescribe
"complementary or alternative medicine" of any
kind. At the same time, however, we recognize parents'
desire to do all they can for their child. We are open
to reviewing and discussing all options with families,
recognizing that families cannot wait decades for all the
needed research to be done.
