The
staff of the Parent-Child Clinical Services Program,
under the supervision of the Medical Director, provide
evaluation, treatment and support services to infants,
young children and their families. In addition, the
Program conducts clinically-based research and provides
training and consultation services.
The
professional staff are certified and licensed specialists
in the following areas:
-
Child psychiatry
-
Clinical psychology
-
Clinical social work
-
Speech and language therapy
-
Occupational therapy
Because
the lines of development in the very young child are
highly interrelated, this multidisciplinary staff is
essential to successful treatment outcomes. For example,
young children with emotional and behavioral problems
often present with speech or motor delays as well, thereby
requiring both mental health and related treatment services.
