By the President 

This book discusses how children with developmental delays have unique medical needs that are often not met with timely and appropriate interventions, both environmental and pharmacological. Dr. Khadija Khan, a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and the President of You Matter Inc., offers practical guidance and resources for parents to navigate the complex process of diagnosis and interventions. She emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to maximize the learning potential of each child and provides insight into various aspects of atypical development and associated emotional and behavioral challenges. The book includes case examples and a list of resources that aims to empower parents by providing a simple background of medical, neurological, and genetic conditions that often accompany developmental delays. Overall, the book is a useful resource for parents and caretakers working with children with special needs.

Purchase today and all proceedings will go toward aiding You Matter Inc. and its mission of mental health education.

For Clinicians and Parents 

The American Psychiatric Association has created a database for clinicians and parents to access mental health assessments for the concerned child. We have compiled and organized the assessments according to whether they are for parents, clinicians and medical doctors to use. 

Reminder!

These are not diagnoses!

For a proper diagnosis, consult a mental health professional to discuss any concerns you have about your child's mental health
