Akron Children's Hospital specialists have the training and expertise to evaluate and care for children with a developmental, learning or behavioral problem. We are dedicated to helping you to understand your child’s diagnosis, as well as identifying supports and resources to help them reach their potential.
Our team includes developmental-behavioral pediatricians, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers and patient service representatives. We also work closely with other pediatric specialists as needed, such as child neurologists and psychologists, as well as with your child's schools, preschools and other agencies that support children with developmental care and education.
We diagnose and develop individual care plans for children with a range of developmental and behavioral problems, including
- Learning disorders
- Attention and behavioral disorders
- Tics, Tourette syndrome, and other habit disorders
- Delayed development in speech, language, motor skills and thinking ability
- Developmental disabilities (e.g., cerebral palsy, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders, etc.)
- Behavioral and developmental problems complicating the range of pediatric chronic illnesses (e.g., epilepsy, prematurity, genetic disorders, etc.)
