Children’s Hospital Colorado – Physical Therapy Program

The Developmental Pediatrics Program provides comprehensive interdisciplinary care for children and youth with developmental delays and intellectual disabilities, including autism spectrum disorders, intellectual disability and neurogenetic conditions. We also have some programs that provide services to adults with developmental delays and intellectual disabilities. We embrace a neurodiverse perspective and provide assessments, follow-up and interventions for a range of complex issues.

Developmental pediatrics is a subspecialty in pediatrics dedicated to the physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth of children from birth through late adolescence. The Developmental Pediatrics Program holds clinics across the Children’s Hospital Colorado system. The developmental pediatricians, psychologists, advanced practice providers, social workers, nurses and therapists within developmental pediatrics provide specialized assessments and care to help families understand developmental differences. Integral to our care is the provision of support and assistance to find resources for therapies and other interventions.
