Promise at Columbia is committed to being the most effective, all-encompassing program to help children with learning disabilities get the support they need to succeed. Children receive state-of-the-art neuropsychological assessments, clinical recommendations and the follow-up necessary to get the services they need to learn.
Our affiliation with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital allows us to care for the entire child – not only their difficulties with learning, but with all of the emotional, psychological, and behavioral consequences that learning disabilities entails and that disrupt the lives of children, their families, and their schools.
Our clinic is importantly embedded within a medical institution, which has myriad links to mental health and health programs, and we collaborate with many referral sources, including pediatricians, who are not trained in assessment of learning disabilities, but who are often the initial access point for families.
With world-renowned research facilities and an innovative team dedicated to understanding learning disabilities, Promise is poised to transform the way learning disabilities are treated and understood in the future.
For families already burdened, a one-stop program can mean the difference between getting lost and getting help.
