Child Study Center

Jane Justin School Child Study Center provides structured special educational services, comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis for children with developmental and/or learning disabilities. These services are hoped to maximize potential for optimum academic and social development. A total of 100 unduplicated children received educational services in FY24. CSC continues to grow services in the Jane Justin School Upper School program with the aim of preparing these students to successfully transition to adulthood with necessary skills to live independently and secure meaningful employment. The school has hired additional staff to serve more students and began the academic calendar year with its largest enrollment in its history. We are now partnering with other Cook Children's departments to provide job training and employment opportunities in those departments. Our first student was hired by Cook Children's Media Relations Department in Fall 2024.

Developmental Pediatric Services Child Study Center conducts comprehensive developmental pediatric evaluations and follow-up for children in order to provide diagnostic and treatment services. Prior to its relocation to the Dodson Specialty Clinics, the Developmental Pediatrics department provided evaluation and follow-up care to 338 unduplicated children who have, or are at risk for, developmental disabilities. On Oct. 20, 2023, the Developmental Pediatrics department relocated from Child Study Center to the newly expanded Dodson Specialty Clinics Building on the Cook Children's Medical Center Campus.
