What is a developmental pediatrician?
Our developmental pediatricians are independently licensed medical doctors (they have completed four years of medical school, 3-4 years of residency, and often 1-3 years of sub-specialty training). They are qualified to do diagnostic evaluations and provide medication management. Developmental pediatricians do not hold ongoing therapy sessions, but they often incorporate brief psychotherapeutic skills into their care and are able to directly refer families who need that service to a Brightline therapist or psychologist.
