UC-LEND Services
Our Services
The UC-LEND clinic offers primary and multidisciplinary care aimed at improving health care and quality of life for individuals with neurodevelopmental and related conditions, of all ages, and their families. Our team specializes in, but is not limited to, seeing individuals with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, speech and language delay, developmental delay and intellectual disability. Further, we are a neuro and gender-affirming clinic who also welcome those at a cross section of neurodivergence and gender dysphoria. All that is needed is a question about neurodiversity, and our team will be more than happy to assist in finding the right provider (or providers) for you.
What We Provide
Diagnostic clarity:
Patients and their families who have questions about recent diagnoses or evaluations can connect with knowledgeable providers who can help clarify what those outcomes mean and how they apply to the individual.
Care Coordination:
Once patient and family goals are identified, a provider (or providers) will deliver specialized and quality care by addressing ones’ unique needs. These providers also depend on our diverse and dedicated team to fill in gaps in the plan of care.
Healthcare Transition:
Our team of specialists can provide guidance on medical and mental health planning, for the future, that will emphasize setting reasonable goals for patients and their families.
Parental Support:
We provide support to parents that focuses on their own mental health and wellbeing. We also encourage parents to be a core part of the decision-making process by empowering them to provide feedback to help build their loved one’s plan of care.
Behavioral Management and Training:
Our team uses a patient and family-centered approach to constructing a plan of care. We focus on providing adaptive skills and education to patients and their families so that long-term goals can be reached.
Educational Advocacy:
Education on IEP preparation, school placement, regional center mediation and the nuances of insurance policies are some topics that can be covered during a LEND visit. Additionally, our team can become an educational advocate by attending IEP meetings.
The clinical team works together with patients and families in a collaborative manner to create a care plan that includes short- and long-term goals to meet the unique and individual needs of each patient.
