Welcome

Welcome to dbpeds.org! This site, sponsored by the AAP Section on Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics (SODBP), is aimed at professionals interested in child development and behavior, especially in the clinical setting.

A special thank you to Hank Shapiro, MD and Frances Page Glascoe, PhD for their dedication to bringing the initial dbpeds.org site to life! We’d also like to acknowledge The Commonwealth Fund for their support of the initial site and the transition to the new design.
