Providing Board-Certified Pediatric Care with Specialized ADHD & Behavioral Health Expertise
Watching your child grows is exciting—but it can also raise questions. If you’re concerned about speech, behavior, learning, or social development, a pediatrician with expertise in developmental and behavioral health can help provide clarity. At CLS Health, our specialists provide comprehensive developmental and behavioral evaluations for infants, toddlers, and children, helping families better understand their children’s strengths and areas of need.
Understanding Developmental & Behavioral Pediatric Care
Many families search for a developmental pediatrician when they are concerned about their child’s behavior, learning, or development. While developmental pediatricians are one type of specialist, general pediatricians with advanced training in developmental and behavioral health can also provide comprehensive evaluations and ongoing care—often with shorter wait times and greater continuity.
Dr. Mohammed is a board-certified general pediatrician with focused expertise in:
- ADHD evaluation and management
- Developmental and behavioral screening
- Co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, learning differences, and school challenges
He provides medical evaluation, diagnosis when appropriate, treatment planning, and coordination with schools and therapists, all within the context of your child’s overall health. When additional subspecialty evaluation is needed, referrals to developmental pediatricians or other specialists can be coordinated.
ADHD Evaluation & Management
Dr. Mohammed specializes in the evaluation and treatment of ADHD and co-occurring concerns, including anxiety, learning challenges, and behavioral regulation issues.
ADHD evaluations may include:
- Detailed parent and child interviews
- Behavioral rating scales
- Review of school input and prior testing
- Medical assessment to rule out contributing conditions
Treatment plans are individualized and may include:
- Behavioral strategies
- School coordination and documentation
- Medication management when appropriate
- Ongoing monitoring and support
Developmental & Behavioral Screening Tests We Offer
Developmental and behavioral screening tests help identify whether a child may benefit from further evaluation. Screenings are not diagnoses, but they are an important first step in understanding development.
Our screening services include:
- Developmental milestone screenings
- Autism screening for toddlers
- Preschool readiness screening tests
- Behavioral and attention assessments
If screening results suggest concerns, a comprehensive developmental evaluation may be recommended.
Autism Screening & Evaluation for Toddlers and Young Children
Screening and evaluation provided by a general pediatrician with developmental expertise. Many parents seek an autism test for toddlers after noticing early signs such as limited eye contact, delayed speech, repetitive behaviors, or difficulty with social interaction. Early screening is important because research has shown that early intervention improves outcomes.
An autism evaluation may include:
- Parent interviews and developmental history
- Standardized screening tools
- Direct observation and interaction
- A clear explanation of results and recommendations
Results help guide next steps, such as therapy referrals, school accommodations, or additional evaluations when appropriate.
When Should You Seek a Developmental or Behavioral Evaluation?
Consider scheduling an evaluation if you notice:
- Missed speech or motor milestones
- Behavioral concerns at home or school
- Difficulty with attention, learning, or social interaction
- Concerns raised by teachers or daycare providers
- A parent’s intuition that “something isn’t quite right”
Trusting your instincts is important. Early answers can reduce uncertainty and help guide appropriate support.
What to Expect During a Developmental & Behavioral Evaluation
Parents often wonder what happens during a visit. A typical appointment includes:
- Review of medical, developmental, and family history
- Use of standardized screening tools
- Observation of your child’s behavior and interactions
- A collaborative discussion of findings and recommendations
Care is compassionate, non-judgmental, and focused on supporting your family.
