Developmental Clinic

Our developmental clinic takes an empathic, empirical and culturally sensitive approach to understand your family and your child. We are experts in the field of child development and have extensive knowledge of developmental delays, behavioral challenges, autism spectrum and related disorders, and parent coaching and counseling.

We work with parents to develop a plan for appropriate interventions to support their children.

Treatment Planning

We know early intervention is linked to successful outcomes, and we are dedicated to providing the best support possible to address developmental concerns.

Our team of experienced clinicians have worked in research and clinical contexts with children who have developmental delays, behavioral challenges, autism spectrum and related disorders, and families who just need some extra help with parenting. We deliver continuity of care across the lifespan, partnering with parents every step of the way and adjusting services based on developmental growth and changes.

Our goal is to develop a relationship with your family and your child, which helps us to optimally address the specific needs throughout your child’s development.
