Determining the specific cause of a child’s difficulties in school requires a comprehensive assessment. At CHOC Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics, this assessment includes a detailed medical history and physical examination, including a neurological exam. The child’s developmental milestones and school history, including report cards and standardized test scores, are reviewed, providing a complete picture of the child’s behavioral, educational and developmental concerns and challenges.

If you are concerned about your child’s attentiveness, behavior or progress in school, contact the CHOC Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics program. For more information, please call (714) 532-7578.
