Sydney Child Development Specialists

Welcome to Sydney Child Development Specialists, located at 12 Tryon Road, Lindfield, Australia. As a trusted institution in the field of child development, we understand the complexity of child development conditions and the need for expert involvement from various professionals. Our goal is to ensure the best outcome for your child by fostering communication and collaboration between all parties involved.

At Sydney Child Development Specialists, we offer comprehensive assessment and ongoing management for a range of conditions including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Developmental Delays, Learning Difficulties, Speech and Language Delays, and General Paediatric concerns. Our focus is on providing thorough assessments and tailored therapy to meet the unique needs of each child.

Our team of experienced paediatricians and psychologists offer two types of assessment services. The first is multidisciplinary joint assessments, where a paediatrician and a child psychologist work together. Depending on the clinical need, cognitive tests and/or academic tests may be required. The second option is individual assessments, which can be conducted with a single clinician, either a paediatrician or a psychologist.

For children already diagnosed with ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorders, we provide ongoing management and treatment. Our paediatricians offer multidisciplinary joint assessments, involving both a developmental paediatrician and a child psychologist. Alternatively, individual assessments can be performed with a single clinician, typically a paediatrician. Throughout the ongoing management process, our paediatricians will liaise with therapists, schools, and other service providers to ensure comprehensive care and make appropriate recommendations.

Our services extend to children of different age groups. For preschool-aged children (5 years old and under), our clinicians can assist in addressing developmental delays, especially if there are delays in multiple areas. For school-aged children, we can assess for possible developmental disorders contributing to their difficulties.

Our paediatricians are well-equipped to assess, manage, and coordinate care for infants, children, and young people. Whether your concerns involve developmental delays, behavioural issues, or general paediatric concerns, our team is here to provide expert diagnosis and ongoing care. From routine newborn care to complex medical issues, we offer a wide range of services to cater to children of all ages.

Assessments can be conducted through one-on-one consultations with either a paediatrician or a child psychologist. In certain cases, multidisciplinary assessments may be recommended, where our experienced team of clinicians, including a paediatrician, child psychologist, and speech pathologist if necessary, provide a detailed assessment over one to two appointments.

We believe in the importance of regular ongoing care and management to support families and help children achieve their fullest potential. Our dedicated team is committed to guiding your child's journey and progress, and we work closely with therapists, schools, and other service providers to ensure comprehensive and holistic care.

If you have any developmental or behavioural concerns regarding your child, we offer initial assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders, specific learning difficulties, global development delay, anxiety, and other emotional and behavioural difficulties. For general paediatric concerns, we are here to address a wide range of issues, from routine care to complex medical conditions.
