Pediatric Movement Disorder Clinic

The Pediatric Movement Disorder Clinic provides assessment, treatment, and recommendations for children with abnormal movements.

The Pediatric Movement Disorder Clinic helps kids who have unusual movements because of problems with their nerves or brain. Here's what they do:

1. Assessment: They check and study kids who have unusual movements to understand what's causing them. This involves asking questions, doing tests, and observing the child's movements closely.
2. Treatment: Once they know what's causing the unusual movements, they come up with a plan to help the child. This might involve therapy, medication, or other treatments to improve the movements and make the child feel better.
3. Recommendations: The clinic provides advice and suggestions to the child's family and other doctors about how to best help the child. This could include changes at home, school, or in other areas of the child's life to support their needs.

It is important to note that they don't deal with primary tic disorders (like Tourette syndrome); those cases are sent to general pediatrics or general pediatric neurology for care.
