The Center for Child and Adolescent Development (CCAD) is a multi-disciplinary clinic that helps children, adolescents, and young adults achieve their fullest potential.

Based at the Macht Building at the CHA Cambridge Hospital campus, CCAD provides assessment, treatment, and support to children and families. Reasons for referral include learning, attention, and behavioral difficulties; conditions such as ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and Psychosis; Autism Spectrum Disorders; and Developmental Disabilities.

All of the CCAD staff are on the faculty of Harvard Medical School and many have earned national reputations for teaching and research. Their true passion is working with children, learning with them, and building long-term collaborative relationships with families. This state-of-the-art dedication to children is evident in the Center's programs and services.
