The Special Child & Adolescent Development Unit provides diagnosis and intervention in relation to:

The Special Unit cooperate with all the departments of IASO Children’s Hospital as well as other corresponding units in Greece and abroad.

Doctors recommend tests to detect a developmental disorder depending on the findings in every stage of clinical assessment. A healthy child that develops at a normal rate only needs to be monitored during childhood. On the other hand, a child that has stopped growing or is developing slower than expected, will need additional lab tests and treatment.

It is also important that parents detect social and emotional problems in their children and help them accept their own development.

Visits to the department are scheduled by appointment and the clinical assessment lasts for about an hour.
