Connect with the right developmental specialist
Rather than looking for a specialist doctor on your own, we can guide you through the whole process. We partner with hospitals and specialty clinics to help you work with a developmental paediatrician who has deep knowledge in your child’s disability.
This allows you to receive tailored medical guidance to support:
- Diagnosis
- Care planning
- Access to specialty services
PLEASE NOTE: Our Developmental Paediatrics service is for families who have received a referral letter from their primary care provider.
Who we support
Developmental paediatricians support children and youth (ages 0-18) who have:
- Developmental delays
- Intellectual and/or developmental disabilities
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD)
- Complex physical or mental health issues
- Undiagnosed developmental disorders
What to expect
Inquire
Once you inquire, we’ll be in touch to start the registration process.
Assessments
We’ll help you schedule specialized paediatric assessments, which may include assessing developmental and behavioural concerns or helping you obtain a diagnosis.
Care Plan
When the assessments are complete, your paediatrician will develop a comprehensive care plan. This may include helping you access other medical services your child or teenager needs and providing care recommendations for your family or other physicians.
Yes, a referral letter from your primary care provider is required to be eligible for our Developmental Paediatrics service.
We collaborate with partner hospitals and specialty clinics across the Toronto area to help you find the right specialist.
Our Developmental Paediatrics service is part of the Transitional Aged Youth with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities clinic collaboration with St. Michael’s Hospital, FASD Diagnostic Services, and the Adaptive Behavioural Intellectual Developmental Disability Integrated Tertiary Care Youth & Children (ABILITY) program at the Hospital for Sick Children.
