Dr. Samuel Kaufman

MD, FAAP

Pediatrician, developmental and behavioral lead

“Before I diagnose attention, I want to know how the child sleeps and whether they can hear the teacher.”

About

Dr. Kaufman runs the extended behavioral evaluation slots. He is the reason our ADHD assessments include a hearing test and a sleep history before anybody writes a prescription, because in his experience roughly one evaluation in six turns out to be something else.

He coordinates directly with Ankeny and Johnston school districts and joins IEP meetings by video when families ask him to.
