Best Answer

That depends on the special needs of the child which could be: serious medical conditions; emotional and behavioral disorders; difficulties with cognitive functioning; learning disabilities; psychiatric disorders; history of abuse or neglect; medical or genetic risk due to familial mental illness or parental substance abuse. A child with significant special needs will most likely require the care of more than one medical specialist. The child's primary care doctor is usually the pediatrician, who refers the child to other specialists given the child's specific needs. There are a whole range of pediatric medical subspecialists that provide focused care depending on the needs.
