Outpatient services are also provided to compliment inpatient care and include assessment and treatment of psychiatric and behavioral disorders such as Autism, ADHD, and mood disturbance, and is among the largest and most comprehensive pediatric programs in the country.
Our team of professionals provides evidence-based management for a range of challenges facing children, adolescents and their families.
