From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yale Child Study Center is a department at the Yale University School of Medicine. The center conducts research and provides clinical services and medical training related to children and families. Topics of investigation include autism and related disorders,[1] Tourette syndrome, other pediatric mental health concerns, and neurobiology.[2]
The center was started in 1911 as the Yale Clinic of Child Development by Arnold Gesell. Dr. Gesell, who is considered the father of child development in the United States, led the center until 1948.[3]
Hillary Clinton volunteered at the Child Study Center while she was a student at Yale Law School.[4]
