In the complex terrain of neurological, developmental, and behavioral disorders, Care for Children International, Inc. stands as an internationally recognized multidisciplinary clinic. Renowned for their comprehensive assessments, they provide a clear and detailed understanding of an individual’s strengths and weaknesses, a pivotal step in crafting an effective personalized treatment plan.

Led by Dr. Federici, the clinic’s expertise encompasses a vast range of disorders including complex neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, multiple learning, and attention disorders. The clinic has also carved a niche in the evaluation and treatment of both domestic and internationally adopted children.

The clinic’s approach is grounded in advocacy, focusing on improving the cognitive and emotional functioning of those they serve. They navigate the often daunting world of IEP meetings, due process hearings, and court hearings, offering expert testimony when required.

Their treatment options, whether individual or family-focused, are solution-oriented and cognitively based. The emphasis is on equipping the child or family with effective coping mechanisms for their specific stressors. For internationally-adopted children, treatments aim to improve the child’s understanding of normal family processes, structure, and parenting, with a focus on increasing bonding, attachment, and regulation of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and impulsivity. The clinic also offers dual language assessments in Russian, Romanian, Italian, and German.

The clinic serves a broad clientele. If you’re struggling with a child experiencing difficulty in learning and behaviors both at home and school, or a child who seems to defy all your efforts at discipline and displays social/behavioral problems, Care for Children International, Inc. can help. They specialize in cases where children have been misdiagnosed and are on incorrect medication. They assist parents grappling with the challenges of raising post-institutionalized children and offer parenting training for crisis management.

Their services extend to the realms of neuropsychological-developmental evaluations and intensive treatment interventions for children, adolescents, and families. They offer expert assessments for a range of conditions including Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), Traumatic Brain Injury/Neurodevelopmental Disabilities, Learning Disability, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder among others. They also provide intensive parent-family training, evaluation, and treatment of abuse/ neglect and developmental trauma disorders, and expert testimony in court-involved cases.

Dr. Federici, Board Certified in Advanced Psychopharmacology, offers consultations and treatment planning for medication issues. The clinic prides itself on its ability to liaise with mental health and school professionals from all over the world, offering international consultations.
