The Division of Child Development and Neurology
offers comprehensive evaluation and management services to children with
developmental, behavioral, and neurologic problems. In our developmental
focus area, we offer evaluation services and team management for children with
developmental delay, behavior problems, autism, attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD), and learning problems. Developmental and psychological
assessments are available to identify strengths and weaknesses. There are
several specialty services including an ADHD assessment clinic and two
multidisciplinary clinics with a developmentally-oriented pediatrician,
dietitian, nurse, occupational therapist, physical therapist, and
speech/language pathologist. In addition, the team provides long-term
monitoring and follow-up for graduates of our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and
for children who have complex medical-developmental problems. In our
neurological focus area, we offer comprehensive management for children with
neurological problems including seizures, headaches, and neuromuscular
diseases. The Division offers access to a variety of specialized services
including new technologies to improve seizure management and motor control. In
addition to providing clinical services, the Division is training the physicians
of tomorrow, and contributing new knowledge to improve the lives of children
with brain tumors and other rare brain diseases.
