Child Study Center

The Child Study Center (CSC) provides diagnosis and treatment services to children who have, or are at risk for, developmental disabilities and related behavioral and emotional problems so that these children may achieve their full potential.

The Center is located at 1300 West Lancaster near downtown Fort Worth in a multipurpose facility that includes medical and psychological services. The Center also contains a clinic for developmental analysis and treatment of premature infants and an educational facility for children with special needs (The Jane Justin School), and an intensive program for Behavioral Analysis in Autism.

Developmental challenges are frequently multi-dimensional; therefore, the staff of the Center focuses on seeing the child in the context of his or her complete environment. Treatment plans are designed to look past a single symptom into the complex whole problem. Frequently, children who come to the Center are placed under the care of a team of parents and specialists which can include not only pediatricians but psychiatrists, psychologists and educators as well.

The goal of the Child Study Center is to ensure that the children who come to the Center for care achieve their full potential.

Developmental-behavioral pediatric evaluation and treatment
