Track: Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics

Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics

Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics is a subspecialty of pediatrics dedicated to understanding, identifying, and managing developmental, learning, emotional, and behavioral challenges in infants, children, and adolescents. This field emphasizes early detection, multidisciplinary care, and family-centered interventions to support optimal growth, development, and overall well-being.


Key Subtopics:


Child Development and Milestones: Assessment of cognitive, motor, language, and social development across different age groups.


Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, and learning disorders.


Behavioral and Emotional Disorders: Anxiety, depression, conduct disorders, and emotional regulation difficulties in children and adolescents.


Developmental Delays and Disabilities: Global developmental delay, cerebral palsy, and genetic or metabolic developmental conditions.


School and Learning Issues: Academic difficulties, attention problems, and school-based interventions.


Family, Social, and Environmental Influences: Impact of parenting, psychosocial factors, and environment on child behavior and development.


Early Intervention and Therapeutic Approaches: Behavioral therapies, developmental interventions, and multidisciplinary care models.


This session provides a platform to discuss innovations and best practices in promoting healthy development and behavior in children. We encourage researchers and clinicians to submit abstracts on Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics and contribute to advancing care and outcomes in this vital field.
