The Division of Developmental and Behavioral Sciences is one of the largest collaborative behavioral health programs of its kind in the country. Under one umbrella, we address the developmental, psychiatric, psychological, and family therapy needs of children of all ages, providing coordinated care to a population of patients and families with extremely complex problems. 

Care in the Hospital Setting

For children who are inpatients and experiencing psychological effects associated with their chronic medical conditions, traumatic injury or experience, we have developed a focused consultation-liaison team of psychologists, psychiatrists, developmental pediatricians, and family therapists to address their unique needs.

Developmental and Behavioral Sciences Staff

Our multidisciplinary program is composed of 32 licensed psychologists, seven developmental pediatricians, four child and adolescent psychiatrists, and five clinical social workers who specialize in providing family therapy. In addition, we host two accredited training programs - a Clinical Psychology Internship and a Developmental-Behavioral Fellowship. Within these training programs, we have three psychology interns, two psychology post-doctoral fellows and one to three developmental-behavioral fellows.
