Description
The New Jersey Department of Health funds Child Evaluation Centers to assess the needs of children with congenital or acquired neuro-developmental disorders, including communication, learning, and behavioral disorders. The program is administered through Family Centered Care Services and focuses on children with special health care needs in New Jersey.
Funded centers provide a variety of evaluative services through comprehensive, coordinated teams of pediatric specialists and subspecialists. By bringing together clinical perspectives, the program aims to assess each child’s needs across different aspects of development rather than through a single type of assessment.
