Overview

Mission

Optimizing the development and behavioral (db) health of all children and families through interprofessional collaboration.

What it reported doing in 2025

The society sponsors an annual meeting each year. This program is planned to meet the needs of pediatricians, pediatric psychologists, nurses, social workers and other healthcare providers and researchers interested in developmental and behavioral pediatrics. A variety of educational formats will encourage the exchange of new scientific and clinical information and support the interchange of opinions regarding care and management issues relevant to developmental and behavioral pediatrics. Scientific material is presented through symposia, oral abstracts, small group sessions designed for in-depth exploration of specific topics, and poster presentations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 76% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
