Providing children of all ages with care for their unique needs.

Child development follows a pattern but each child is unique. Missed or delayed milestones, academic and social struggles, environmental or genetic influences are often early indicators of differences in development and behavior. At Ivy Developmental Pediatrics, we see children with motor and speech delays, attention deficits, social and emotional difficulties and behavioral challenges. Through listening, observation and engagement with each child, our goal is to help families identify a path forward for their children that encourages and fosters their growth and development.

I see children as kites. You spend a lifetime trying to get them off the ground. You run with them until you’re both breathless. They crash… You add a longer tail… You patch and comfort, adjust and teach. You watch them lifted by the wind and assure them that someday they’ll fly.
