                        Tuesday, March 23, 1999

  Mrs. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
the NYU Child Study Center, a unique multi-specialty program at New 
York University School of Medicine.
  The NYU Child Study Center is an innovative program dedicated to 
offering complete child and adolescent psychiatric care that is fully 
integrated with scientific research and education.
  The Center's research considerably advances the understanding of the 
causes and treatments of child mental disorders. In addition, the 
Center collaborates with public, parochial and private school systems 
to provide invaluable preventive resources to families.
  The NYU Child Study Center is an indispensable resource for parents, 
educators and child health and mental health professionals both in New 
York and across the United States.
  The premier clinicians at the NYU Center implement the knowledge 
gained from research and translate it into care that incorporates the 
most up-to-date information about the causes, symptoms and treatments 
of mental disorders.
  Some of the programs in the Center's clinical care area include: 
Furman Diagnostic Service to assess treatment and long-term follow up; 
NYU Summer Program for Kids with ADHD; Young Adult Inpatient Program; 
Port Washington Alternative Learning Program for at-risk adolescents; 
Family Studies Program to prevent future problems in couples and 
families at risk; Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program to 
promote healthy relationships; Unique Minds, to assist families of 
learning disabled children; and NYU Child Study Center East for 
children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and learning 
disorders.
  The Center's other main missions include advanced training for mental 
health professionals; research in areas such as pediatric 
psychopharmacology, children at risk, attention deficit hyperactivity 
and related disorders, and child and adolescent anxiety disorders; and 
educational outreach and prevention for parents, educators, 
pediatricians and other mental health professionals.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to bring to your attention the NYU Child 
Study Center. The Center provides an invaluable service to New York's 
children and their families, and for children across the country. It is 
an honor to have such an important institution located in my district.
