Developmental & Behavioral Screenings

Helping Your Child Thrive at Every Stage

At Leon Pediatrics, we believe early detection leads to better outcomes. Our developmental and behavioral screenings help identify delays or challenges early—so we can support your child’s growth with the care they need to succeed.

Whether you’re concerned about speech, motor skills, social behavior, or school performance, our screenings are gentle, age-appropriate, and based on trusted guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics. We work closely with families to track progress and provide referrals when needed.

What We Screen For:

• Speech and language development
• Fine and gross motor skills
• Social interaction and emotional regulation
• Attention, focus, and behavioral concerns
• Autism spectrum and sensory sensitivities
• Learning difficulties and school readiness

Our goal is to give you answers—not alarm. With every screening, we offer guidance, resources, and next steps tailored to your child’s needs.
