The Behavioral Health Services comprehensive approach to care is provided by a multidisciplinary team – which may include a psychiatrist, developmental-behavioral pediatrician, nurse practitioner, psychologist, clinical social worker, and clinical counselor – to determine the best treatment options for each child and adolescent.

The Myelomeningocele/Spina Bifida Clinic at Nationwide Children's Hospital is a multi-disciplinary clinic providing comprehensive long-term treatment services to individuals with myelomeningocele and other spinal abnormalities.

Services may include assessments by members of a multidisciplinary team consisting of neurodevelopmental pediatrics, nursing, orthopedics, physiatry, urology, neuropsychology, social work, physical therapy, occupational therapy, orthotists and other related ancillary services.
