Children's Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center

As one of the largest centers of its kind in the United States, the staff at the Children's Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center (CERC) provide more than 58,000 diagnostic, therapeutic and related services to about 8,000 children and their families annually, while training close to 1,000 professionals each year.

The programs operated by CERC were established in 1956 as one of the first clinical activities operated by Albert Einstein College of Medicine. They are based at Einstein in the Rose F. Kennedy Center and in the Rousso Building.

CERC's satellite clinic at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore provides limited diagnostic and intervention services. These services are coordinated (in the Horizon Center) with other services offered at CHAM for children with chronic illness, disabilities or congenital disorders. Children seen at CHAM who require more extensive diagnostic and treatment programs are referred to CERC's primary locations.

Diagnostic evaluations available at CHAM include:

• Pediatric neurodevelopmental
• Psychological
• Speech and language
• Social service
• Pediatric rehabilitation

Treatments available at CHAM include:

• Speech and language therapy
• Psychopharmacological treatment
