Welcome to Mission Pediatrics

Dear cherished client,

You are very welcome to Mission Pediatrics. Mission Pediatrics is a specialist pediatric practice that specializes in neuro developmental assessments. You may have been referred on account of differences in any of the 5 major areas of child development. These are communication, learning, social interaction, daily living skills and function, motor skills, that is movement and use of both big muscles and small muscles of the body. At mission Pediatrics we have specialists to help support your child in all these areas and help your child be the best they can be.

Please take note of the following.

• Neuro assessments appointments are booked appointments. Waiting times for appointments vary from two weeks to 6 weeks. There are earlier emergency appointments slots available if that is necessary. Please ask the reception for details about the appointment process if you have any questions.
• Cancellation of appointments must be done at least 48 hours before the appointment. The assessment sessions are for one hour. Arriving more than 30 minutes late will require that your appointment is rescheduled. It is advised you make plans to arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time to allow enough time for registration and vitals to be checked.
• If you have been referred for a neuro assessment, this will take two or more interactions with the specialist. The first assessment is called the initial assessment. At this assessment the specialist will have a detailed interview with you. Your child will need to be present for all assessments. Children will be observed in a structured play area during the first assessment.
• Not every child will be asked to do a blood test or a brain scan. If this is indicated you will be given a request to do it at a recommended facility.
• Most neuro assessments will require at least two assessments sessions, sometimes more before a diagnosis is made. However, on some occasions like in the case of seizures or Epilepsy assessments it may take only the initial assessment to conclude on a diagnosis.
• Once a diagnosis has been made, you will have a feedback session. This does not require the presence of the child. A summary report of the diagnosis will be available at the feedback session. If a detailed report is required for purposes of travel, school etc. that can be provided after a request is made at the reception. Detailed reports are provided at a fee and take up to 6 weeks to be ready.
