Developmental Pediatrics
Caring for Children with Autism, ADHD & Other Behavioral and Developmental Concerns
The Knights of Columbus Developmental Center houses our division of developmental pediatrics. We provide diagnostic evaluation, follow-up, support, and advocacy for children and their families.
Based on our expertise in autism, the Knights of Columbus Development Center has been designated a Missouri Center for Autism by the Department of Mental Health.

Our specialists provide advanced care for children with a broad range of neuro-developmental disabilities and communication disorders. We work with a variety of pediatric patients, including those with:
- Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Language and social delays
- Intellectual disabilities
- Genetic disorders
- Associated developmental and behavioral concerns
What We Offer
Our autism specialists offer PEERS®, The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills . PEERS® is a social skills training program for adolescents with autism and their families. We have also teamed up with SSM Health Cardinal Glennon's speech pathologists and occupational therapists to offer the Move to Communicate program. The Move to Communicate program promotes communication in nonverbal preschoolers.
We offer information sessions for families of children newly diagnosed with autism. We provide clinical evaluations for children in early intervention programs. We also provide consultation for early intervention service coordinators for Southern Illinois.
Become a Patient
To become a patient, every child requires a physician referral. Your child’s pediatrician should always be your first point of contact when you have a concern. They will be able to fully evaluate your child and suggest any next steps.
