Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics

The Division of Behavioral and Developmental Pediatrics is committed to the delivery of exemplary clinical care, advancing research, and educating and training future healthcare professionals.

The division offers comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and multidisciplinary management of neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD, autism, learning differences, anxiety, tic disorders, and behavioral differences in infants, children, and transition-age youth. The division has a strong presence in the research community and has produced nationally recognized research on ADHD and autism. As a member of the groundbreaking Autism Speaks Autism Care Network, our team works together with other thought leaders to develop and deliver the most effective approach to the care and intervention of children and adolescents affected by autism. 

Faculty members in the division provide clinical services at UCI Health, The Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders, and CHOC Children’s Hospital.
