Childhood Development Disorders

The Center for Human Development (CHD) is committed to using a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach for diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders in children and adolescents, such as:

Parents, teachers, school administrators, doctors and others can refer children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Each patient is evaluated by a team of experts that may include specialists in developmental-behavioral pediatrics, psychology, and speech pathology. Detailed reports of evaluations are shared with families and provide a blueprint for intervention strategies.

Please note:

• Diagnostic evaluation services are only provided at the CHD's Southfield location.
• Our evaluation team clinicians do not offer consults separately from the multidisciplinary evaluation services.
• Medication management services are limited and only for established patients who have been evaluated at the CHD.
• As a pediatric specialty program, the CHD is not an appropriate fit for patients whose primary concern is mental health related (anxiety, depression, suicidal or self-harm thoughts or actions).
• The CHD is not able to provide crisis help. For families concerned about a behavioral or mental health crisis, please use one of the following resources:
  • go to your nearest Emergency Department.
  • visit Michigan Department of Health & Human Services Coalitions and Crisis Lines or text keyword RESTORE to 741741.
  • visit the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or call 1-800-273-8255.
