Children’s Wisconsin is proud to begin serving patients at its new Center for Child Development, located at 1250 N. 113th St., Suite 200, in Wauwatosa. The Center, which relocated and expanded from its previous location at the Lilly Center in Brookfield, began welcoming patients on April 29, 2024.
The Children’s Wisconsin Center for Child Development focuses on integrated health services for children with developmental diagnoses. These include delays in speech, language, motor skills, cognitive abilities, learning disorders, attention and behavioral disorders, autism spectrum disorder and psychological and developmental concerns brought on by exposure to trauma.
While previously limited by its space to mostly testing services, the new Center for Child Development now provides developmental and behavioral pediatrics, psychology, speech, occupational and physical therapy, early childhood mental health and more. A dedicated community education room will support expanding community outreach.
“The opening of the new Center for Child Development reflects the strong commitment of Children’s Wisconsin to caring and supporting children and families with neurodiverse abilities,” said Daniel Schulteis, MD, a developmental-behavioral pediatrician at the Center. “The physical space represents only the first step towards transforming the type of care and services Children’s Wisconsin will provide to these kids, their families, and the community.”
This new Center is another example of how Children’s Wisconsin cares for every aspect of a child's health. Children’s Wisconsin designed the space to provide a calm, soothing environment for children with developmental diagnoses including a sensory room and outdoor spaces. With services now integrated into a single space, kids can now receive easier access to more collaborative care that touches on all their needs together.
