Biomedical Consultation

  • Evaluation of dietary, sleep, or other medical issues
  • Medication management
  • Information on alternative and complementary medicine treatment options

Biomedical consultation consists of an hour long visit with a developmental pediatrician which addresses the family's specific concerns regarding issues such as diet, sleep, medical testing, medications and alternative medical interventions. The session consists of a detailed developmental and medical history, as well as physical and neurological examination. Based on available research, information is then shared with the family regarding treatment options and potential benefits and side effects. Decision for treatment is made jointly by physician and family. When appropriate, referral may be made to other specialists. If medication is initiated, periodic monitoring is needed through physician visits every six months and checklists provided to teachers and family.
