What are the adventages, if any, for bringing in a developmental-behavioral pediatrician specialist into a child's iep team?

Great idea: It would really help in identifying if there are any other areas that can help the child succeed. This is not my specialty but I have relied on those skilled pediatricians in helping with difficult cases.

Advocate: A developmental- behavioral pediatrician can be another advocate for your child's iep. This doctor can test your child's development, behavior, and learning needs beyond what your pediatrician can do.
