Practice

Our practice recognizes all children have unique needs and abilities, including those with specialized healthcare needs (SHCN).

Patients with SCHN may require additional considerations based on the patient’s development, education level, cognitive ability, cooperation in medical settings, triggers for uncooperative behavior, soothing strategies, adherence to schedule or routine, current therapies, and other beneficial accommodations.
