Program Description

The Departments of Behavioral Psychology and Neuropsychology provide assessment and treatment services for a variety of pediatric populations and their families. Our Program Aim is to prepare doctoral interns to intermediate competence in delivery of health service psychology with children and adolescents with a range of behavioral, developmental, emotional, health and learning needs along with their families. Our program recognizes the importance of cultural and individual differences and diversity in the training of future psychologists and their internship supervisors. Our training program follows Kennedy Krieger Institute’s policy, as an equal opportunity employer, of commitment to diversity at all levels Our training program provides training in applied behavior analysis, developmental disabilities, behavioral pediatrics, pediatric neuropsychology and family therapy. The Departments' philosophy is that the principles and procedures of behavioral science form the basis for effective and ethical clinical services. The Departments strive to provide a model of applied behavioral science in a pediatric medical setting by developing and evaluating the application of behavioral science and technology in health care services for children through its service, training, and research programs.

The philosophy of our internship program is to prepare students to function not only as psychologists in a variety of settings, but also as members of a multidisciplinary team providing health related services to children and their families. Training occurs through supervised experiences in inpatient hospital units and outpatient clinics. Interns completing our program are well qualified to enter clinical, medical or academic settings.
