Blog from the Pediatric Neurodevelopmental Center
The Blog from the Pediatric Neurodevelopmental Center is based on existing research and our clinical expertise. For simplicity, we did not include references or citations unless we are sharing information from a specific source.
Science changes and evolves. Hundreds of scientific papers can be published on a single topic within months, so it can be challenging to keep up! This means that information shared in our Blog might become outdated or inaccurate. We are also continually growing as clinicians, as clinical care is both an art and a science. Please let us know if you catch errors that need correction. We are always open to feedback because we are always learning! Also feel free to make requests for topics you want to learn about.
