To receive service from the Child Development and Neurology Institute:
-
To receive service from the institute, contact the Admissions Committee, along with a referral from the attending physician, approved by the HMO or by another professional at the HMO that insures the child, or through direct contact by the family, guardian or employee of a volunteer support organization.
-
After discussing the application, the Admissions Committee will request additional documents, suggest a diagnostic track and/or continued investigation, as necessary.
-
There is no limitation on application to the Admissions Committee, other than the age of the child – due to restrictions related to the basket of services, children cannot be sent for a first diagnosis after the age of six. Older children may be referred for medical consultation at the institute, without any age restriction.
