What this is, in plain language
A developmental evaluation for children where a developmental disability is suspected, carried out by a developmental paediatrician, clinical psychologist or paediatric nurse practitioner. The evaluation looks at possible causes of the child's developmental delay and ends with a written report that can be shared with the child's school and primary care provider.
Getting started
Follow the department's intake process: for children aged 0–5, call (585) 275-2986 to request intake forms and return them by mail or fax; for children 5 and older, call the same number to book a short phone call with the intake team first. The team reviews the paperwork and calls the parent or caregiver before scheduling; initial evaluations run one and a half to four hours, and the site suggests bringing a second adult plus toys, snacks and comfort items for the child.
