Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MET)

A team at the Child Development Center evaluates children with complex developmental problems. Typically children have already participated in Birth to 3 or early childhood services but are not making progress as anticipated.

We provide evaluations for children, ages 2 to 6, who have one or more of the following:

• Developmental problems
• Behavior or adjustment difficulties
• Communication delays and disorders

Our multidisciplinary evaluation team includes the following health care professionals:

• Developmental pediatrician or nurse practitioner
• Pediatric psychologist
• Speech/language pathologist

The program offers these services:

• Family-centered, coordinated diagnostic evaluation by a multi-specialty team
• Recommendations regarding treatment and educational programs
• Counseling about diagnosis, intervention and prognosis
• Referral to other specialists as needed
• Follow-up evaluations to monitor the child's progress
