Regular evaluation of the pregnant woman, assisted hospital delivery and the Child's examinations at key ages do not dispense the
constant vigilance of the child's health by the family and other caregivers (nurses, educators and teachers ...).
Entrance to school is a key moment in the life of a Child, which adds to the play and tothe play the need to learn. In the event of suspected developmental delays, the Child should be signaled and referenced to the
Early Intervention Team (children under 6) or the
School Health Team (children aged 6 years and over).
In addition to the support available in the community,
Consulped has these teams, which are made up of
Psychologists, Speech Therapists, Psychomotricity Technicians and Occupational Therapy.
Many of these children have developed variants of normal development that with adequate support and stimulation are easily overcomed. Others, however, need an approach, sometimes multidisciplinary, that may involve consultations of other specialties. Consulped has the generality of these consultations, which facilitates
diagnosis and follow-up of these situations.
If you want the support of these Teams, ask for an
appointment directly to the desired specialty or if you need a previous evaluation for
Dr. Andreia Baleca (Psychologist Coordinator of the Team of Early Intervention), or for
Dr. Suzete Carvalho (Psychologist Coordinator of the School Health Team).
