Comprehensive At-Home Screenings

Behavioral and developmental screenings evaluate how your child is developing. Our goal is to rule out specific concerns that may cause emotional, social, or behavioral problems. Dr. Khaira is happy to offer at-home screenings to help minimize any disruptions to your family's daily routines. Our screenings are tailored to each child's unique needs from infancy to early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence.

What Are Key Behavioral and Developmental Screenings?

Here is a look at some of the screenings we offer:

Preliminary Autism Screening

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends performing autism screenings starting at a child's 18- and 24-month well-child visits. This helps provide prompt intervention when needed, ensuring the best possible long-term outcomes.

ADHD Screening

We screen our young patients for signs of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which can seriously impact learning, behavior, and social development. Early diagnosis can help ensure your child has access to professional help and resources.

Depression Screening

We monitor for signs of depression in both children and young adults and determine its severity. We strive to ensure our young patients can access the necessary support and interventions to help them deal with their emotions and challenges.

At Viridian MD, we also focus on various developmental and behavioral aspects, including the following:

Toilet Training: Toilet training can be quite a challenge, and we're here to help by offering tips and guidance to get your little one on the track to success.

Safe Sleep and Sleep Hygiene: Sleep is another area of challenge for many parents who need strategies, professional guidance, and plenty of patience to help their children develop healthy sleep habits.

Screen Time: We are happy to offer guidance on balanced screen time to promote optimal physical and mental development.

Behavioral Concerns: We help you address behavioral challenges, such as tantrums, nail-biting, and head-banging, providing guidance and effective management strategies.

Eating Concerns: We offer nutritional support to help you address eating challenges, from picky eating to more serious eating disorders that can impact your child's health.

Collaborating with Teachers, Counselors, and/or Specialists

We believe in a holistic approach to pediatric care, which is why we collaborate with educators, mental health counselors, and other specialists. This ensures a comprehensive support system that addresses all aspects of your child's well-being. We offer initial counseling as part of our screening process and may recommend referral to a specialist, if needed, for added support and intervention.
