Compass Neurodevelopment Center
Face of Behavioral and Developmental Pediatrics
Steven Felix, MD, Traci W. Olivier, PsyD, & Emily McMann, APRN, CPNP
The interdisciplinary team at Compass Neurodevelopment Center has years of experience
diagnosing and treating neurodevelopmental disorders. Neurodevelopmental disorders include
Autism, Intellectual Disability, Learning Disorders, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD), concerns related to prematurity, and developmental delays.
The Center is led by Developmental Pediatrician, Steven Felix, MD, and Pediatric
Neuropsychologist Traci W. Olivier, PsyD. Dr. Felix has practiced in Baton Rouge for the past 13
years but began in pediatrics over 35 years ago. He has specialized in Developmental
Pediatrics for nearly 30 years and is known for developing and growing developmental clinics
throughout the United States. He is one of the few Board-Certified Developmental Pediatricians
in the State of Louisiana. Dr. Olivier is a fellowship trained Pediatric Neuropsychologist who is
also one of the few of her kind in the state. Drs. Felix and Olivier are joined by Pediatric Nurse
Practitioner Emily McMann, who specializes in developmental medicine. The team offers
comprehensive evaluations and diagnosis; treatment plans; follow-up; and medication
management.
The Compass team works with physicians, schools, practitioners, and other professionals to
provide excellent care for children with special needs. This unique team has had a
long-standing vision of establishing a neurodevelopmental center to serve children’s medical,
educational, and psychological needs and is second to none in the region.
Services have recently expanded beyond the Baton Rouge location and into Central, LA with an
interdisciplinary Autism assessment clinic. Future expansions will include providing follow-up
care for high-risk infants after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and
transition services for adolescents approaching adulthood.
