Looking For A Developmental Pediatrician In The Pacific Northwest??
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My daughter is two and we live in Portland, Oregon. We are looking for a developmental pediatrician that can do a formal medical diagnosis for her. Mostly, so we can get all of her services paid for. We would be willing to drive to Seattle if needed. If anyone has any names other than the major hospitals (wait is 9 months+), I would love to get her in faster!
Thank you!

I would suggest looking into colleges in your area, especially ones with early childhood degree programs. They may know of resources that could be helpful. Also, a developmental psychologist can diagnose your child, so you don't have to go with a pediatrician specifically.

I live in Kansas, so I don't know the specifics in your area, but the law requires that the state provide some assistance to you for therapy services. It is called Tiny-k or infant toddler services in most states. My son was evaluated by a developmental psychologist contracted through our local infant toddler services. You may want to start there. A normal pediatrician's office should have information for the local services for you.

Good luck!
