Years of Experience Behind Our Approach
Dr. Gary Feldman's 16 years as the Medical Director of the Stramski Children's Developmental Center have equipped him with a unique level of expertise working with children dealing with behavioral and neurodevelopmental conditions. We know that challenges in a child's development can be extremely stressful on the entire family, which is why we are dedicated to coming up with long-term solutions that can improve quality of life for everyone.
Clinical Evaluation
Prior to the child's first visit, parents and those involved in the child's daily life will be given a pre-evaluation that asks various questions about the child’s activity and behavior. This information gives Dr. Feldman a clearer understanding of the child's background and allow them to make the most accurate diagnosis. Throughout the child's first visit and the course of his or her treatment, we work closely with the family and conducts the most up-to-date standardized tests and assesments to ensure growth and development goals are achieved.
Assessment to Support Growth
Dr. Feldman utilizes special techniques that are play-based to help a behaviorally or developmentally delayed child learn how to sharpen motor skills, focus, create neurological stimulus and even something as basic as how to smile. Our team will complete an assessment and refer each patient to appropriate centers. We provide medicine management, case management, and medical advice where appropriate and applicable.
Continued Follow-Up Care
Routine appointments are made with the child as needed to encourage continued growth and development and to track progress. The number of visits a child needs per year are based upon the child’s diagnosis and condition.
