They use a variety of strategies to assess and intervene with patients, including cognitive, behavioral, and psychosocial approaches. Developmental Behavioral Pediatricians work closely with families, caregivers, schools, and other professionals to provide comprehensive care for their patients.
Developmental behavioral pediatricians are medical specialists who focus on the physical, cognitive, and social development of children from birth through adolescence. They focus on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of behavioral, emotional, and developmental disorders. They may also provide preventive care, including early detection of developmental delays.
Developmental Behavioral Pediatricians (DBPs) are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing, treating, and managing developmental, behavioral, and mental health issues in infants, children, and adolescents. DBPs are often referred to as child psychologists and specialize in treating a wide range of childhood-onset conditions that affect physical, emotional, and intellectual development.
The primary responsibilities of a DBP include diagnosing and treating a range of conditions that affect physical, emotional, and intellectual development. These conditions may include Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, and other mental health disorders. DBPs may also provide counseling and therapy to help children cope with their conditions and may refer patients to other specialists as needed.
To become a DBP, a person must have a bachelor’s degree in a health-related field, such as nursing, psychology, or social work, and then complete a four-year medical degree program. After graduation, they must pass the United States Medical Licensing Examination and complete an additional two- to three-year residency in pediatrics or a specialty field such as child psychiatry, developmental pediatrics, or behavioral and developmental pediatrics. Finally, they must obtain board certification from the American Board of Pediatrics or the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in the specialty field.
The number of developmental behavioral pediatricians in the US is estimated to be around 4,000. The majority of these doctors are located in metropolitan areas and the top states with the most developmental behavioral pediatricians are California, New York, Texas, Florida, and Illinois. The overwhelming majority of developmental behavioral pediatricians are female, with only 20% being male. The average age of a developmental behavioral pediatrician is 40-49 years old. The majority of these doctors also have a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree, although some may also have a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) degree.
