Kids with learning, behavioral or developmental challenges need specialized care to be physically, cognitively, academically, socially and emotionally healthy. At the Child Development and Autism Center, we can help your child reach his or her maximum potential in all of these areas.
As part of Atlantic Health System Children’s Health, we have medical specialists here who provide superior pediatric care that is specific to your child’s needs, while also respectful of every family’s values.
Some of the behavioral and developmental conditions evaluated and treated at the Child Development and Autism Center are:
- Autism
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Language disorders
- Learning disorders
Our team of health care professionals includes neurodevelopmental pediatricians, a nurse practitioner, social workers, learning consultants, a speech-language therapist and a psychologist. They are trained in treating developmental delays, autistic spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other related conditions.
Children with neurological disorders, such as epilepsy or neuromuscular disease, are treated at our Division of Child Neurology and Developmental Medicine. As part of Atlantic Health System Children’s Health, physician services are provided through Atlantic Medical Group and are on staff at Goryeb Children’s Hospital.
Laboratory Services
We also know that many patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder feel anxious about having blood drawn. That’s why we designed a sensory room at the Atlantic Health Children’s Specialty Center at Morristown. Learn more about this calming space and our specially trained team >
