The mission of the Section
of Pediatric Psychology is to provide the best possible services
to our patients and their families, utilizing empirically-supported
diagnostic and treatment techniques, implemented with caring and
respect. We provide a range of specialized psychological evaluation
and treatment services to children from infancy through young adulthood,
coordinating care with other specialists and professionals to best
meet each child's needs. Staff in Pediatric Psychology include
pediatric psychologists, fellows, assistants, social workers, and
administrative and support personnel. Professional staff are
involved in clinical teaching, research, and professional associations,
and are recognized regionally and nationally as experts in their
subspecialty fields. Within Pediatric Psychology are several
specialized programs, and staff work closely with professionals
in other departments to best address each child's specific difficulties.
These include ACET (ADHD Center
for Evaluation and Treatment), Pediatric Behavioral Medicine
Program, CCCA
(The Cleveland Clinic Center for Autism), and the Hospital
Consultation-Liaison
Service. Diagnostic evaluations are available for children
with attentional, learning, developmental, behavioral, or emotional
problems, with psychological and psychoeducational testing conducted
when indicated. Staff psychologists have special expertise
in psychological treatment of eating and feeding disorders, developmental
disabilities, chronic and acute pain, coping with illness and disease,
attentional and learning difficulties, and physical symptoms associated
with stress.
