Neuromotor Development Clinic

Welcome

The Waisman Center Clinics provide comprehensive clinical care and support for children with disabilities and their families. The Waisman Center Neuromotor Development Clinic is a partnership with UW Health and the American Family Children's Hospital. An interdisciplinary team of professionals work together to evaluate the needs of young children with motor disability including cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions that affect motor development.

 

Children and their families receive a comprehensive evaluation with follow-along care and re-evaluation by the core interdisciplinary staff including: nursing, speech pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, audiology, and a developmental pediatrician. Strong relationships with the families of clients and linkages with other community service agencies and specialty health care providers are in place to insure that services meet commonly recognized and agreed-upon goals.
