Children with Special Needs

Coordinated care for children who need more than the usual.

What We Do

Care that works around your child

Some children need more appointments, more specialists, and more coordination than the standard schedule allows for. We build that around them rather than expecting families to fit a template.

Whether your child has a chronic condition, a developmental difference, a complex medical history, or a diagnosis you’re still working towards, their primary care provider stays the constant — the person who knows the whole picture while specialists each see their part of it.

What this looks like in practice

  • Longer or more frequent visits where they’re needed, rather than squeezing a complex conversation into a standard slot
  • Coordination between specialists, so your child’s history travels with them and you’re not repeating it at every appointment
  • Developmental screening and referral when something needs a closer look
  • Help with school documentation — forms, letters, and the paperwork that supports an IEP or 504 plan
  • Behavioral health support within the practice, and referral onwards when more is needed

Working with specialists

Our Specialty Care Department handles referrals and authorizations, and sends your child’s clinical history ahead so the specialist arrives informed. Call them on (781) 933-0254 once a specialist appointment is booked — details on Specialty Care & Referrals.

Behavioral and developmental support

Our Integrated Behavioral Health team works alongside your child’s provider for shorter-term support. Where a fuller assessment is needed, Woburn Pediatric Psychological Services offers neuropsychological consultation on referral.

Tell us what helps

If your child finds waiting difficult, needs a quieter room, does better at a particular time of day, or has a routine that makes visits go more smoothly — tell us when you book. We would much rather know in advance than work it out on the day.

Call Woburn on (781) 933-6236 or North Andover on (978) 557-5712 to talk through what your child needs.
