UAMS Pediatrics

The Schmieding Developmental Center, located in Springdale, Arkansas, provides comprehensive developmental assessments of children from birth to 18 years of age. The assessments address a number of developmental concerns including:

• Autism
• Childhood mood and anxiety disorders
• Developmental delay
• High risk infants
• Learning and attention difficulties
• Tourette syndrome

The staff of psychologists, physicians, an advanced nurse practitioner, and a speech and language pathologist serves the mission of the developmental center: to provide exceptional, comprehensive evaluations that look at each aspect of a child‘s development and generate detailed intervention and treatment recommendations as well as follow-up care as appropriate.
