Child Development


Comprehensive Care for Child Developmental Disorders

Loyola Medicine offers consultations for families, pediatricians and primary care doctors who have concerns about the development and behavior of children under 10. Children with developmental or behavioral problems may have difficulty with communication, taking care of themselves or have problems meeting milestones typical for their age.

Loyola’s developmental pediatrician works with an experienced team to care for children with disabilities, behavior issues and developmental issues—including physical, learning and language delays. We provide evaluations and treatment recommendations for a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Attention difficulties, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Autism spectrum disorders
  • Developmental delays
  • Difficult behaviors
  • Executive functioning problems
  • Learning difficulties, including dyslexia
  • Reading comprehension problems
  • School problems
  • Speech delay
  • Trouble making friends

At Loyola, we take a comprehensive approach to caring for all children, taking into account the child’s medical history, family life, social environment and emotional health when determining the cause for symptoms and developing a treatment plan.

Our team works closely with Loyola’s child psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, pediatricians, social workers and speech, occupational and physical therapists to provide the most comprehensive care for every patient.

The approach at Loyola also includes partnering with parents, therapists and educators to get a complete picture of a child’s strengths and challenges, then devising a custom plan to ensure success for the child at home, in the classroom and in the community.
