About the clinic

The Development/Behaviour Clinic at the Centre for Community Child Health supports preschool and primary school children with learning difficulties, behaviour problems and developmental delay including language, motor skills and toileting.

Clinic staff include consultant paediatricians, senior paediatric trainees and clinic coordinators. There may be teaching and research activities in the clinic.

Patients are bulk billed for their consultations and therefore will need a referral from their general practitioner.
