Taking Flight Developmental Pediatrics is a Kansas City pediatric practice focused on developmental diagnostics, care coordination, and counseling. Its guiding message is that every child has potential, while some children may need additional care and support to thrive. The practice is led by Dr. Katie Burns, who has more than 15 years of experience caring for children with a range of needs, including premature birth, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, autism spectrum disorders, genetic disorders, learning disabilities, and ADHD.

Services include diagnostic assessments and medication management, as well as care coordination and counseling about treatment options. Taking Flight also welcomes the therapists and teachers already involved in a child’s care to attend appointments, supporting communication among the child’s support team. Families can find information about fees and frequently asked questions on the practice’s website, access a patient portal, and contact the practice to arrange an appointment. Overall, Taking Flight Developmental Pediatrics offers families a place to seek evaluation, treatment guidance, and coordinated support for children with developmental and related needs.
