Behavior and Development

This portion of the program is provided in three segments: a one month block during the PL-1 year which includes two weeks each of behavioral and developmental pediatrics; a one month experience spread out over the three years encompassing additional time in the developmental office; family therapists offices, specialty clinics such as f/u for "preemie grads"; and county developmental centers where young children receive developmental screening and therapy provided.  In addition, the focus on normal and abnormal behavior and development is a daily occurrence in both the in and outpatient facets of this program.  There are didactics in behavioral and developmental pediatrics as part of both the core lecture series and in the "mini conference series". The block month during the PL-1 year consists of two weeks at the Kellar Center, one week at the Kluge Institute in Charlottesville, VA, and one week of out patient experiences in developmental screening and assessment of OT/PT/speech.
