Pediatric Clinic

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).

Through a partnership established with Differences - Child Development Center, we have a team of doctors and other technicians able to immediately diagnose and start intervention programs aimed at the development difficulties detected. Nowadays, it is possible to identify before the entry into the 1st. Year of Schooling, children who may present in their academic course significant learning difficulties in Reading, Writing and Calculus (respectively, Dyslexia, Dysshia and Dyscalculia).

It will be possible, therefore, to attenuate or even eliminate the negative impact, especially personal, that a Learning Difficulty can generate.
