To care for children with physical or developmental disabilities, neurological or behavioral special needs in a way that is positive, passionate, integrated and family-centered so that the children can maximize their potential within their families and the community.

A comprehensive array of services and programs provide a continuum of care for children and young adults with physical, neurological or developmental disabilities.

The professional staff of The Detroit Institute for Children, including physicians, therapists, nurses, social workers, psychologists, orthotists, and other technicians and specialists all take great pride in providing the highest quality care available. The emphasis of care is placed on treating the whole child, not just the disability, and working with the child’s family and caregivers to maximize his or her potential for independent functioning.

Whether a child’s condition is the result of a birth defect, illness or injury... whether a child is mildly involved or more severely affected... whether a child requires multiple weekly therapy sessions and equipment, or monitoring by a specialty physician only once or twice a year...The Detroit Institute for Children is here to help.
