It involves the evaluation of a child's neurological development, including the nervous system, brain, and spinal cord.

Common neurological disorders treated by Pediatric Neurologists include epilepsy, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Treatment options may include medications, physical therapy, and surgery. Pediatric Neurology is an important part of the overall care of children with neurological disorders. It is important for Pediatric Neurologists to work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as pediatricians, psychologists, and physical therapists, to ensure the best possible outcome for the child.
