Choosing Our Child Study Center

One size does not fit all. Every child deserves treatment tailored to their unique needs.

Just as no child should be defined by a single trait or characteristic, no treatment should revolve around a single symptom – or utilize a one-size-fits-all therapy approach. Developmental and behavioral challenges are frequently multi-dimensional. At Child Study Center, not only do we understand that, we embrace it. We look beyond a single symptom and into the complex whole problem. By focusing on a child in context of his or her complete environment, our specialists can work with parents to bring a child's full potential to light.

Every therapy treatment used at the Center is scientifically proven and evidence based. Our world-class clinicians and highly-trained staff thoroughly evaluate each child to identify specific developmental disorders. We only use practices that research shows will help get positive results for your child.

The Child Study Center has been a tremendous blessing in the lives of our children. They have addressed physical ailments and impairments, provided poignant counseling, and given us the educational tools we need to be better parents and a stronger family.
