Overview
Babies born early, with complex medical needs, or adversity have additional medical needs. They are at increased risk of neurodevelopmental or behavioral challenges.
At UVA Health Children’s early development clinic (EDC), a team of specialists will evaluate your child to help identify early delays. Early identification can help your child’s development.
