Developmental Assessments for your Baby and Child
If you’re concerned, we’re here to help
Never underestimate the power of small steps…
Our Developmental Progress Consultations are beneficial for parents who are concerned about whether their baby or child is showing signs of developmental delay.
Waiting on a Child Development Screening & Assessment?
Are you worried about your child’s development? We know how long it can take to be seen by a Paediatrician. And we know how frustrating it can be, especially if you haven’t yet received any formal diagnosis. Whatever your developmental concerns for your child or baby, there are tools you can implement today to help while you wait. Our GPs are specially trained in child development, and can offer medical guidance, assurance when you’re on the right path, and gentle guidance and direction when you’re not. We can also recognise which allied health therapies might be required and get you quicker access to allied health therapy if issues are identified.
