Child Development at Carilion Clinic in Virginia
The Child Development Clinic is a collaboration between Carilion Clinic Children’s Hospital and Virginia Department of Health (VDH). Our clinic provides neuro-developmental assessment and evaluation for children from birth to eight years of age, and older as appropriate. Children are referred for a variety of suspected developmental disabilities and learning disorders including:

We accept new patients who are aged 0-8 years, and older as appropriate. Each child’s evaluation is driven by the individual needs of the child and family. We also place a strong emphasis on care coordination and case management. A physician referral is required.
