Our objective is to nurture, promote and coordinate research, training, education, and clinical service in child development and developmental psychopathology.
The focus of our research at the Center is on the biological embedding of developmental processes in children at risk and how these processes are modified by environmental factors.
The NeoNatal Neurobehavioral Scale (NNNS-II) examines the neurobehavioral organization, neurological reflexes, motor development - active and passive tone, and signs of stress and withdrawal of the at-risk and drug-exposed infant.
Mission
