OUR VISION

Siskin Children’s Institute works to improve the quality of life for children with special needs and their families.

OUR VISION

Siskin Children’s Institute will be a nationally recognized leader of evidence-based services for children with developmental needs using a family centered approach to increase access and opportunity for each child to reach his or her life goals.

Health Care

The Siskin Center for Developmental Pediatrics is a regional developmental pediatric center, led by a team of developmental pediatricians, with services available in Chattanooga and Nashville, TN. Children are referred to the Institute for medical, psychological, and cognitive assessment, diagnosis and therapies including occupational, speech and language, feeding, physical, and applied behavior analysis.

Home Visiting
The Siskin Home & Community-Based Early Intervention program is designed to help parents, other caregivers and children with special needs gain the knowledge and confidence they need to be successful in life. Through visits with a developmental therapist, the family receives information, support, guidance and consultation about improving the child’s and family’s quality of life. It’s a program that can be provided in the home, child care center, the park or other natural settings in the community.

Family Support Services
Siskin Family Support Services offers guidance and resources from a team with firsthand experience caring for individuals with special healthcare needs, chronic illnesses, or disabilities. This personal connection allows us to support, train, and work collaboratively with the families we serve. We’re proud to partner with Family Voices of Tennessee and the Tennessee Disability Coalition, serving as the local resource hub for families in the Chattanooga area. Our services include healthcare navigation, family support and training, consultations, and professional development in fields related to special needs and early childhood development.
