How Can Pediatricians Help Improve Academic Achievement?
Pediatricians can contribute to improving academic achievement through various means:
Early identification of developmental delays and learning disabilities. Providing guidance and resources to parents on how to support their child's learning at home. Collaborating with schools and educational specialists to develop and implement individualized education plans (IEPs). Addressing physical and mental health issues that may hinder academic performance. Promoting healthy lifestyle choices such as proper nutrition, sleep, and physical activity.
