Child Study Center Cook Children's provides children who have complex developmental and behavioral disabilities the highest quality diagnosis, treatment and education to help them achieve their full potential. As of November 2023 our mission shifted to focus on treatment and education as our diagnostic services were relocated to the Dodson Specialty Clinics on the Cook Children's Medical Center Campus. At CSC, we understand that developmental and behavioral challenges are frequently multi-dimensional. The wide approach we embrace offers a range of services including developmental pediatrics, applied behavior analysis, psychological care and educational services through CSC's Jane Justin School. Applied Behavior Analysis Child Study Center provides behavior analytic services to children with developmental disabilities who either display difficult behaviors, such as noncompliance, tantrums, property destruction, self-injury and aggression, or lack desirable skills such as self-help, social, play, academic and language. Using applied behavior analysis methods, this program also provides educational opportunities for children with diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder. These children may attend up to 35 hours per week with one-on-one instruction from program specialists under the supervision of board-certified behavior analysts. Additional support is provided by the developmental pediatric department for diagnosis and treatment services. In FY24, visits totaled 5,722 and treatment services were provided to a total of 103 unduplicated patients. The department is adding clinical staff this year to serve more children in the future. Child Study Center provides services to children and adolescents with developmental disabilities. These services include conducting comprehensive psychological evaluations of the disabilities and their related emotional and/or behavioral difficulties, which include recommendations for treatment. In addition, CSC psychology provides individual therapy, parent training and parent-child therapy to reduce anxiety and disruptive behaviors. Prior to its relocation to the Dodson Specialty Clinics, CSC psychology provided services to 57 unduplicated children across 81 visits for these services. On Oct. 20, 2023, the Developmental Psychology department relocated from Child Study Center to the Dodson Specialty Clinics building on the campus of Cook Children's Medical Center. U.S. News & World Report's first-ever rankings for pediatric and adolescent Behavioral Health included Cook Children's in the Top 50 best in the nation. Staff from Child Study Center collaborated with colleagues from across Cook Children's to collect and report data for the survey. Gold badge recognition in the 2024-2025 rankings reflects the scope of high-quality care Cook Children's offers for Behavioral Health.
