Paediatrician Assessments

Age Range: 0-5 years

Designed for: Specialist Assessments & Diagnostic Services, Families

These assessments are carried out by our Neuro-Developmental Paediatrician, Dr Ko. He is a broadly experienced Paediatrician who has worked with LCP for many years. Dr Ko is devoted to supporting our families and ensuring that they leave their appointments with a clear understanding of where to next.

Dr Ko provides a holistic assessment of a child’s development including gross motor, fine motor, speech and language, and social skills development. This is done by taking a history from the child’s parents and undertaking standardised developmental assessments.  A medical examination is conducted to assess any underlying medical conditions present.

A report, including recommendations is provided after each assessment.

Paediatrician Assessments can look at:

  • Gross motor skills
