If you or your doctor have any concerns about your child's development, learning or behavior, our Developmental pediatrician is the first point of contact at NIPMR and she/he can provide comprehensive evaluations and customized recommendations for care and support.

New patients may be referred to our Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics Clinic by parents, physicians or other clinicians by simply calling the NIPMR reception and making an appointment. Depending on the child's age and needs, they may be referred to other team members like the physiatrist or any one or more of the other therapy departments.
