Your Day with the CCHD
a child's view of the CCHD experience
CCHD presents at 2011 AUCD Conference
Advancing the health, development, and well-being of children at risk or who have developmental disabilities and supporting their families through the provision of: (1) exemplary clinical service; (2) interdisciplinary leadership training; (3) outreach training and technical assistance and (4) collaborative academic research.
Children seen at the CCHD often present with developmental and/or behavioral challenges that are challenging and puzzling to families, communities, and schools. The clinicians at the KU Medical Center CCHD evaluate and diagnose children who may have developmental disabilities (DD). In addition to diagnostic services, the CCHD works with families, schools, and communities to develop treatment plans. The goal at the CCHD is to accurately diagnose the child and recommend the most effective treatments.
The challenges, as well as the strengths, of the children served by the CCHD are assessed in order to understand the diagnostic picture. An interdisciplinary team approach to the diagnosis of DD means that children and families have access to professionals in a broad range of treatment areas. Professionals on clinic teams may include:
An experienced intake coordinator and/or a parent educator are available to help families determine the appropriate clinic for each child.
Families may call 913-588-0329 to speak with an intake coordinator.
