Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of Developmental Pediatrics emphasizes early identification, advocacy, and intervention to optimize functional neurodevelopmental outcomes of children with a myriad of potential challenges. With the advances in biological underpinnings of neurodevelopmental disabilities, further sub specialization within the field has emerged. This new frontier explores genetic underpinnings, articulates the developmental phenotypes with greater granularity, examines identification of dual diagnoses, and evaluates intervention efficacy. It has also led to greater examination of parental mental health.
This special edition aims to highlight new frontiers in Developmental Pediatrics, through invitations for papers articulating novel neurodevelopmental perspectives. It also seeks papers describing gold standard assessment and identification, particularly with dual diagnoses, interventions, and support for parental mental health.
