A child developmental specialist is someone
who works with children, their parents and
educators in assessing a child's developmental
needs, deficiencies, and goals. Specialists are
highly knowledgeable in typical and atypical
development, can recognize the symptoms of a
developmental issue, and can offer parents and
caretakers advice on how to best work with the
child to overcome the problem.
Assessing the Child
Child development specialist spend a large
amount of time observing children, playing with
them and getting to know each child before
making an assessment. Depending on the nature
of the developmental issue, the specialist may
engage the child in hands-on arts and crafts
projects, gross motor games, speech
assessments, or mental development tests. The
specialist will also work closely with the child's
health care providers and those caring for the
child on a daily basis to discuss the child's
behavioral and cognitive levels and where the
child stands in relation to his age group.
Therapy Plans
Once the specialist has determined the precise
developmental issue affecting the child, he/she
will then work with the parents to devise a
therapy plan designed to work on the
developmental issue and remedy the situation in
a way best suited to the child's needs. The
specialist can offer family group counseling to
provide emotional support for parents and other
caregivers. The therapy plan should contain
specific milestone goals, and the specialist
should closely track and monitor the child's
progress.
