The Multidisciplinary Center serves pre-school and school-aged children who are experiencing severe and/or complex academic, medical, and/or behavioral/emotional problems.

In addition, they participate in school-based counseling in neighboring counties, and co-lead social skills and/or emotional regulation groups in the clinic. While at the Multicenter interns will also be trained to administer adaptive functioning measures, write therapy notes, and perform case management activities.
