Developmental Pediatrics at Sunny Hill Health Centre
We provide specialized developmental assessments and rehabilitation services to children, youth and their families from across BC.
Development Pediatrics at the Sunny Hill Health Centre is a range of services that serves children and youth with complex medical, physical and developmental needs.
Some of these patients have conditions affecting physical, motor or sensory development. Some have acquired brain injury, prenatal exposure to alcohol or other drugs, cerebral palsy or autism. The unique nature and complexity of their needs may make it difficult to find all the support they need in the community they live in.
Children and youth typically access Developmental Pediatrics services for outpatient assessments and care. They do not stay overnight at BC Children’s Hospital.
We also serve patients throughout the province through our ongoing Outreach Program. We use telehealth or videoconferencing to connect BC Children’s Hospital health professionals with children, youth and families in rural and remote communities. With each child or youth, we focus on promoting their healthy development.
Pediatricians or consulting specialists can refer patients to us via a specific clinic or program that best meets the care needs of each individual child or youth. Information on how to do so is available on each clinic’s web page, alongside information for patients and families on specific preparations or considerations.
Developmental Pediatrics has a specialized website to help distribute information and promote learning and education: Child Development and Rehabilitation InfoSource.
