This educational guide helps you think through whether a developmental paediatric review would be helpful. It is not a diagnostic tool.
Step 1
Multiple areas
Concerns spanning communication, behaviour, learning or emotional wellbeing.
Step 2
Persistent worry
Concerns that persist despite good preschool or school support.
Step 3
Family sense
A parental sense that something is not quite right.
Step 4
School flags
Teachers or preschool have raised concerns.
Step 5
Complexity
Overlapping factors — sleep, anxiety, learning — that no one is looking at together.
Important
This educational guide is not a diagnosis, medical assessment, emergency service or substitute for consultation with a qualified professional. Appointment requests are reviewed and arranged manually by the clinic team.
Common questions
- Is a review always necessary?
- No. Sometimes a short conversation is enough. Sometimes a considered review makes a big difference.
