Rutgers study finds long-wait times for children in need of pediatric evaluations

A new Rutgers study found evidence confirming that extended wait times for pediatric evaluations could be severely detrimental to the diagnosis and early intervention strategies needed for treatment. Published in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, the study found that the average wait time nationally for development pediatric evaluations falls between five to six months. When comparing appointments made in Spanish, about one-third of the programs contacted did not provide language accommodations, said Manuel Jimenez, an assistant professor of pediatrics, family medicine and community health at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. The study specifically focused on diagnostic evaluation delays for pediatricians who specialize in autism, attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder and cerebral palsy. There are only 1,000 pediatricians nationally who are specially trained to treat these disorders, which is likely one of the reasons why there are such lengthy wait times, according to the study’s press release in Rutgers Today. “Relative to the number of children who would benefit from seeing a developmental pediatrician, the number of specialized physicians in the field is relatively few.Mar 31 2017
