IHDD is one of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive interdisciplinary research and training institutes focusing on a wide array of developmental disabilities. The Clinical Training Unit (CTU) at IHDD is an interdisciplinary program that provides training, research, and exemplary services in the assessment and treatment of children with or at risk for developmental disabilities, using a family-centered, equitable, community-based, approach in a variety of clinical formats.
Child Development Clinic (CDC)
(CDC) provides diagnosis, assessment and management plans for children from early childhood to adolescence. The interdisciplinary teams include professionals from audiology, developmental/behavioral pediatrics, nursing, nutrition, psychology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, social work, and speech and language pathology to evaluate each child and make recommendations for care. Trainees participate in hands-on and didactic training which includes assessments, parent conferences, lectures, and report writing. The children served in this clinic experience a wide range of diagnoses including intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders, motor disabilities, learning disabilities, behavioral disorders, communication disorders, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The Infant Development Follow-Up Clinic (IDFC)
(IDFC) and Infant Assessment Training Program (IATP) at CHDD provides developmental follow-up of children from birth to age eight years. It provides an ideal setting for interdisciplinary training. The goal of the clinic is to provide early identification and referral for early intervention for the neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral problems associated with prematurity, drug exposure, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, ECMO, or congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
