The Center for Child Health and Development
(CCHD) at KU Medical Center diagnoses and develops treatment recommendations for children with developmental disabilities.

Our teams provide assistance to families, teachers, doctors and others who work with them. Professionals, along with the family, develop a thorough understanding of the child’s strengths and needs. Many children and youth seen at the CCHD present developmental and/or behavioral challenges that are often puzzling to families, physicians or teachers. The goal is to accurately diagnose the problem, understand the reasons and recommend the most effective treatments.

Call 913.588.5900 to talk with our Intake Coordinator and/or Social Worker to determine which clinic is the most appropriate for your child.

The Center for Child Health and Development is a member of the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD).
