Our Approach
The Clinic for Special Children is a healthcare home for both primary care and complex needs children. Founded by Dr. Karen Harum, the Clinic offers pediatric care to any child, regardless of their neuro or physical abilities. With specialized neurodevelopmental training, the Clinic's providers offer an unprecedented level of care and consideration from birth through adolescence, until a child reaches adulthood. We recognize your child as a complex and unique person. We believe our job is to go beyond treating your child’s health. We treat the whole child. We approach your child's health holistically; paying attention not only to their medical history but also their nutritional status, mental development, biological and genetic individuality, and emotions. A team approach is used to provide coordinated services and care. What that means for your child is an overall better experience and healthcare that is mindful of wellness, attitude, and continued growth even after you leave our office.
