Developmental & Behavioral Health Services

At Park Pediatrics, we believe that mental, behavioral, and social-emotional health are just as important as physical health. That’s why developmental and behavioral screening is a routine part of our well visits. We screen for developmental delays and behavioral health concerns in Gaithersburg MD, Greenbelt MD, and Takoma Park MD, including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, and depression using age-appropriate, evidence-based tools. Early identification allows us to intervene promptly and provide families with the support they need during critical stages of development.

Behavioral Health

To expand access to high-quality behavioral health support, we proudly partner with Triplemoon, a pediatric behavioral health organization that provides integrated mental health services within the primary care setting. Through this partnership, families have access to personalized behavioral health support, parent coaching, care coordination, and evidence-based interventions designed specifically for children and adolescents.

Triplemoon’s collaborative care model allows our pediatric team and behavioral health specialists to work together closely, helping families receive timely, coordinated support in a familiar and trusted medical home environment. Services may address concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation, school challenges, parenting support, and behavioral difficulties.

Autism Evaluations and Support

In addition to our partnership with Triplemoon, Park Pediatrics continues to offer dedicated autism-related services separately through our practice. We provide developmental screenings, autism evaluations, guidance for families, and ongoing support to help children access appropriate therapies, educational resources, school accommodations, and community services as early as possible.

Our experienced clinical care coordinators work closely with families throughout this process, helping navigate referrals, therapy resources, insurance questions, school-based services, and connections to community support programs. We understand that navigating an autism diagnosis can feel overwhelming, and our goal is to provide families with personalized guidance and ongoing support every step of the way.

Our mission is to provide comprehensive, family-centered care that supports both the physical and emotional health of every child.
