Frequently Asked Questions

- In addition, we provide follow up for pediatric populations at high risk for developmental delay, to include genetic disorders, prematurity (< 35 weeks gestation) and status post-cardiac surgery. This work is completed in coordination with the child’s primary care doctor.
There are several methods to arrange for referral to Stuart Developmental Pediatrics:
- The primary care provider can place a referral.
- Other clinicians working with the child can place a referral.
- The family can call directly to arrange an appointment.
The best means to contact this office to arrange the referral include:
- Calling at 512.680.9295
- Fax at 1.844. 267.0438
- Email at StuartDevoPeds@gmail.com.

Step 2: The family completes paperwork
Step 3: The family mails in the completed paper work and copies of relevant past evaluation. (Note: All submitted paperwork must be completed before an appointment will be scheduled).
Step 4: All paperwork is reviewed and questionnaires are scored.
Step 5: The office will contact the family to arrange an appointment.
Step 6: The initial office visit typically takes 90-150 minutes in duration, depending on the complexity of the situation and thoroughness of the intake paperwork. Every effort will be made to provide a determination of a diagnosis, if any, by the end of the visit. There may be times that specialized lab and radiology tests may be needed to confirm a diagnosis. The findings of the evaluation will be reviewed with the family and will recommend a plan of intervention.
Step 7: Follow up is recommended every 6-12 months to monitor progress. If a child is started on medication for behavioral treatment, follow up is much more frequent.
