Children with undiagnosed medical conditions or who may require further medical evaluation may be referred for a medical diagnostic evaluation. If you have any questions regarding these eligible medical conditions or medical diagnostic services, please contact your developmental pediatrician consultation contractor. * Referring to DSCC Children with cleft palate, orthopedic abnormalities, or other potential DSCC eligible diagnoses associated with physical disabilities are to be referred to the Division of Specialized Care for Children (DSCC) prior to IFSP development. DSCC may provide medical diagnostic support at no cost to the family. Simultaneously Child and Family Connections should complete the intake process as usual. DSCC will determine the type of ongoing assistance they can provide.
