We are one of the top 10 programs in the United States for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities and chronic illness. The Mailman Center is located on the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center campus and annually serves over 19,000 children, youths, and their families. The staff at the Center give special care to identifying the concerns and priorities of each individual and family. The family and professional staff then work closely to decide which of those services would best meet all family members’ needs. Although the Mailman Center is not Down syndrome-specific, the center addresses concerns of individuals with developmental disabilities and children with special health care needs through research, clinical service, training for professionals, parental workshops and advocacy. |
