Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics

The Division of Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics focuses on improving health, well-being, quality of life, and outcomes for young patients with developmental and behavioral challenges. Our faculty and physicians have earned national recognition for excellence in clinical and academic developmental-behavioral pediatrics.

We offer a breadth of experts and services that go beyond core neurodevelopmental disabilities; each program deals with highly vulnerable children at risk for developmental/behavioral challenges.

Highlights of our Division include:

  • Cross-disciplinary collaborative services for patients
  • Mental health and neuropsychology integration for training and clinical care
  • Integration of training for three fellowships
