Coffee & Connections: Who You Gonna Call? When to Call a Developmental Behavioral Pediatrician

 Join us for an insightful and thought-provoking Coffee & Connections as we welcome Dr. Candice Allen, a highly respected Developmental Behavioral Pediatrician and founder of Created to Thrive Developmental & Behavioral Pediatric Clinic in The Woodlands. In this engaging session, Dr. Allen will walk us through a series of real-world pediatric case scenarios that highlight the often intricate intersection of developmental, behavioral, medical, psychological, and psychiatric needs. These cases will serve as a springboard for meaningful conversation around one essential question: Who should be involved in a child’s care, and when? Together, we will explore how to thoughtfully identify when to bring in specialists such as neurologists, psychiatrists, therapists, and other providers to ensure each child receives comprehensive, coordinated, and high-quality care. This conversation is designed for professionals, educators, and community members who support children and families and want to deepen their understanding of how to navigate complex cases with confidence and clarity. At Fusion Academy The Woodlands, we believe that true student success happens when the right supports are in place both inside and outside the classroom. Events like this reflect our commitment to building strong, collaborative partnerships within our community so that every child is seen, supported, and empowered to thrive. We hope you will join us for a morning of connection, learning, and meaningful dialogue.
