Holistic Assessments for Whole-Child Development at KITES
Neurological Evaluations: Understanding the Brain’s Role
Our neurological assessments delve into the central and peripheral nervous systems to identify conditions such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy, or neurogenetic disorders. By collaborating with pediatric neurologists, we ensure that any underlying neurological factors influencing a child’s development are accurately diagnosed and addressed.
Gastroenterological Assessments: Linking Digestion and Development
Gastrointestinal health can significantly impact a child’s behavior and learning. Our evaluations, conducted in partnership with pediatric gastroenterologists, investigate issues like feeding difficulties, food intolerances, and gastrointestinal disorders that may affect a child’s overall well-being and development.
ENT Evaluations: Ensuring Optimal Hearing and Communication
Hearing and speech are critical components of a child’s development. Through ENT assessments, we identify and manage conditions such as chronic ear infections, hearing loss, or speech delays, facilitating better communication skills and social interaction.
Nutritional Assessments: Fueling Growth and Development
Nutrition plays a vital role in a child’s overall health and development. Our registered pediatric dietitians conduct comprehensive evaluations to address feeding difficulties, growth concerns, and dietary imbalances. By collaborating with families, we create personalized nutrition plans that support optimal growth, cognitive function, and physical well-being.
Pediatric Orthopedic Evaluations: Supporting Musculoskeletal Health
Musculoskeletal development is crucial for a child’s mobility and participation in daily activities. Our pediatric orthopedic assessments focus on identifying and managing conditions such as congenital deformities, growth plate injuries, and neuromuscular disorders. Through physical examinations and imaging studies, we develop individualized treatment plans to enhance functional outcomes.
Neurodevelopmental Evaluations: Mapping Developmental Trajectories
Our comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments integrate findings from various disciplines to create a detailed profile of a child’s cognitive, motor, language, and social-emotional development. This holistic approach informs personalized intervention strategies that leverage each child’s strengths and address their unique challenges.
Ophthalmological Assessments: Supporting Visual Processing
Vision plays a pivotal role in learning and daily activities. Our ophthalmological evaluations detect visual impairments, strabismus, or processing disorders, enabling timely interventions that support academic and functional success.
Dental Evaluations: Promoting Oral Health and Comfort
Oral health issues can influence eating habits, speech, and self-esteem. Our dental evaluations focus on identifying problems like tooth decay, malocclusion, or oral sensitivities, ensuring that each child maintains good oral hygiene and comfort.
