Educational Services: Child, Family, and School Psychology Clinic
The Child, Family, and School Psychology and Educational Services Clinic at the University of Denver provides psychoeducational assessment and consultation for infants, children, adolescents, and young adults (aged birth-21 years old). Services are designed for families who are concerned that their child's development may not be typical, and for students who may be experiencing difficulties with learning, achievement, and/or school-related behavior problems.
As a training center for education specialists and doctoral students, the Clinic is committed to delivering high quality research-based services to families. Our clinical approach integrates the extensive clinical experience of our doctoral level, licensed, supervising school psychologists with the commitment and creativity of our graduate students who use up-to-date assessment and consultation methods based on state-of-the-art research.
Clinical services are offered on the basis of a flexible, sliding fee schedule. As a training clinic we do not accept public or private insurance.
