Welcome to our Special Needs Information page 

If you are a parent of a special needs child, please know that our team at Kids First Pediatrics understands the importance of good, solid resources that contribute to the overall health of your child.

When seeing your child for the first time, we will make sure that you have the appropriate specialists in place in order to gain the optimum health care as well.  All of our specialists are referral based and we have developed a long standing relationship with many of them.  Therefore, this relationship will help us in making sure your child’s journey is a smooth and easy one between our doctors and your preferred specialists whether it be a GI Doctor, Pediatric Surgeon, ENT Doctor, Neurologist, Pulmonary Doctor and/or other doctors that will fit the diagnosis.

We work hard in providing the best care for your child and we hope the following resources and/or links below will help you become more aware of the services offered locally as well as becoming an advocate for your child. 

Warm regards,  Kids First Staff  972-317-6000

Note:  All resources below are updated as best as we can keep up with in reference to State laws and legislations.
