Brief summary of the service
The Community Paediatric department aims assess, diagnose and support children with development disorders such as developmental delay, autism spectrum conditions, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and muscular dystrophy. We can advise the child’s parents/ carers on useful resources and other sources of support. We can contribute towards Educational Health Care Plans (EHCPs).
We also have expertise in safeguarding, child protection and looked after children (LAC). .
We hold clinics at the Crystal Development Centre, Malling Cl, Croydon CR0 7YD, Leander Road Health Centre, 939 London Rd, Thornton Heath CR7 6JE, Parkway Health Centre in New Addington and other local specialist school across the borough.
We have visiting specialists that come to assist the service to help provide the service to our local community.
