Square One Specialists in Child and Adolescent Development

What Square One Specialists in Child and Adolescent Development does

Square One Specialists in Child and Adolescent Development is a privately held, single-location multidisciplinary healthcare practice based in Louisville, Kentucky, founded in January 2006 by Dr. Judith Axelrod, a Behavioral-Developmental Pediatrician. The practice was the first private practice in Louisville solely devoted to managing both the medical and psychological needs of children, and serves families with children from toddler age through adolescence presenting with developmental, behavioral, emotional, learning, or psychiatric concerns. Services are organized around four core evaluation types (Neurodevelopmental, Psychological/Educational, Neuropsychological, and a Comprehensive Team Evaluation combining pediatrician and psychologist assessments), supported by psychotherapy, medication management, telehealth, and supplemental speech-language assessment.

The clinical team of 7-9 staff comprises one developmental pediatrician, four psychologists (including one pediatric neuropsychologist), three psychiatric nurse practitioners (two dual-certified), and one licensed psychological associate. The underlying technology stack is intentionally light: telehealth is delivered via consumer video conferencing platforms (FaceTime, Zoom, Google Meet, Skype), and there is no proprietary software, mobile app, or API. The principal operational differentiator is the Team Comprehensive Evaluation process, a coordinated multidisciplinary workflow that combines physician examination with psychologist assessment, scoring, and a parents-only post-evaluation consultation with a written report.

Square One operates exclusively as an out-of-network fee-for-service provider, declining to contract with insurance companies. Families pay at time of service and submit claims directly to insurers for out-of-network reimbursement; the practice provides CPT/ICD codes and tax ID documentation to support those claims. Payment is accepted via HSA/FSA, credit cards, checks, and cash. Patient acquisition is referral-driven (pediatricians, schools, existing families) supplemented by organic web search and an online new-patient intake form that routes families to appropriate services. The practice does not engage in paid advertising, holds no patents or trademarks, has no disclosed external investors, and operates within a single Kentucky market without disclosed geographic expansion plans.
