My son (3 years old) has some developmental delays and I need to have him assessed. I have already gone through the public school system and he has qualified for speech therapy. He is doing great with speech now, but he is lacking in some other areas. Does anyone know of a great developmental/behavioral pediatric specialist? Or maybe know of an organization/doctor that would evaluate my son? I really need help with this. I feel like he is losing ground everyday and I need to get some help quickly! Thanks!

What can I do next?

Hi S.,

My son is 22 months and is delayed also. We had him evaluated by the Early Steps program? Everything is free. He has speech therapy and also a teacher that comes in and we have an appt. with Dr. Pavan, a Pediatric Developmental Specialist in Tampa in December. Early steps is wonderful. He will be assessed every 6 months and then when he's 3 he may go to the TALK program in some areas. As long as he is in the program, it's all free. Email me back and you can call me for more info if you like. I'd be glad to help.

Good job being an in tune mama! You might reach out to Dr, David Berger and see if he could recommend someone. He is an amazing doctor, but his wait list is quite long right now and you need to move forward. His number is ###-###-####. Good luck!

It's not cheap, but check out the Tridas Center. We ended up getting results with an occupational therapist, but received many recs for the Tridas Center. They have a great reputation.
