A message from our Director:
15% of children are diagnosed with a developmental disorder. We want to be game changers in the lives of our patients and their families by creating a seamless integration of clinical care and innovative research. To do so, we’ve brought together an unparalleled team of experts to focus on improving outcomes through cutting-edge research.
Our team includes board-certified Neurodevelopmental Pediatricians, a board-certified Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrician, board-certified Medical Geneticists, board-certified Genetic Counselors, licensed Psychologists, and a certified and licensed Speech-Language Pathologists. With such an extraordinary combination of specialties, we’re changing the approach to how developmental disorders are diagnosed, managed, and treated. We don’t just focus on one aspect of a person’s care – we treat the whole individual – from a medical, behavioral, and genetics perspective.
As part of a learning health system, our research also brings together complementary areas of expertise to explore the underpinnings of developmental disorders. Our investigators combine neuroimaging, developmental medicine, psychology, genomics, and high-performance computing to delve into the causes of developmental disorders with a goal of discovering new therapies and ultimately cures.
