Boston Children’s Hospital is dedicated to improving the lives of children and young adults with developmental, psychiatric, learning, and behavioral difficulties through integrated and collaborative clinical care, training, clinical and translational research, neuroscience, and community engagement and collaboration. The interdisciplinary staff comprises developmental-behavioral pediatricians, child psychologists, child psychiatrists, neurologists, nurse practitioners, and educational specialists.
