The Developmental Paediatrics team at BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital hold unique expertise in providing comprehensive care to children and adolescents suffering from impairments of typical brain function that often impact their memory, behaviour, and ability to learn.
In today's times with changing family dynamics, there are many families facing behavioural, developmental, and parenting problems that are profoundly affected by our day-to-day living, increased competitiveness, availability of wider technology in the form of gadgets, etc.
The Child Development Unit at BLK-Max Hospital addresses the development, behaviour, and learning issues with the help of a team of professionals, headed by Developmental Paediatrician, Child Psychologist, Occupational, Speech Therapist, and Special Educator. Every child is first assessed by our team development Paediatrician and Psychologist to understand the strength and areas where the challenge is, following which a team of interventionists works on specific individualised goals.
An Occupational Therapist helps children acquire skills needed to perform activities or occupations of daily life. A Speech Therapist addresses a very specific aspect of development: communication, which includes how the child understands and uses words to communicate. A special educator helps to develop learning skills.
