Dan L Duncan Children’s Neurodevelopmental Clinic
Our mission is to enhance children’s opportunities for successful living by providing individualized research-based clinical services.
Welcome to the Duncan Clinic
The Dan L Duncan Children’s Neurodevelopmental Clinic at the Children’s Learning Institute, part of UT Physicians, provides comprehensive assessments of children, adolescents, and young adults. We recognize that the challenges faced by children with developmental concerns are not always linked to a simple medical diagnosis. These are complex neurodevelopmental issues in which multiple developmental concerns likely overlap and require a comprehensive look at every child. This understanding guides our approach to utilizing patient-centered, evidence-based methods in our diagnostic evaluations and our treatment recommendations.
We see patients who may have:
- Learning disabilities such as dyslexia
- Neurological, genetic, and medical disorders such as ADHD, Anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down syndrome, and other neurodevelopmental conditions.
- The clinic team is available for follow-ups to address needs at different stages of development, from infancy through young adulthood. Our clinic provides ongoing follow-up and consultation services to the greater Houston community and beyond.
Please note, patients requesting specific services may be required to receive referrals before appointments can be scheduled. Contact our clinic for more information.

Developmental Experts
The Dan L Duncan Children’s Neurodevelopmental Clinic has multiple developmental experts on staff. In many cases, any of these professionals can provide an excellent evaluation for your child. However, you may choose whom to work with based on personal preference or referral to a particular individual, or based on the areas of expertise and interest listed under each clinician’s staff bio. We work together to ensure that your child’s needs are addressed.
Licensed Psychologists
It is recommended that your child be evaluated by one of our licensed psychologists if your primary concerns include:
- Autism or related conditions
- Dyslexia or another learning or educational problem
- Psychological/emotional or parent-child relationship issues
- Receiving a comprehensive assessment that typically includes a full battery of IQ, language, academic attention, executive function, and social emotional adjustment
Developmental-Behavioral Pediatricians and Specialized Clinicians
It is recommended that your child be evaluated by one of our developmental and behavioral pediatricians and/or specialized clinicians if your primary concerns include:
- Receiving a developmental assessment that at times includes evaluation of developmental milestones, social communication abilities, early academic assessment and brief cognitive assessment. All visits include a medical examination and if warranted in-office specimen collection for genetic testing.

- Referral for other medical studies such as neuroimaging, genetic, and metabolic evaluations if indicated.
The Dan L Duncan Children’s Neurodevelopmental Clinic transitioned to an electronic health record in May 2021. Epic, the new electronic health record, provides a powerful tool for connecting our health care providers with patients. We utilize Epic to streamline processes and provide patients greater ease in accessing their healthcare information through a new patient portal. If you have questions or concerns about this change, please feel free to reach out to the Clinic staff.
