The Knights of Columbus Developmental Center

At our Knights of Columbus Developmental Centers, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for children with developmental disorders. Our multidisciplinary team provides ongoing support to help your child reach their highest potential, including evaluation, treatment and care, family guidance and innovative research.

Our SLUCare Physician Group diagnostic team works alongside your child’s pediatrician to develop an individual care plan to best serve your child.

Becoming a Patient at the Knights of Columbus Developmental Center

Our goal is to help all children succeed and thrive in their environments. Your child’s pediatrician should always be your first point of contact when you have a concern. They will be able to fully evaluate your child and suggest any next steps that may need to be taken. To become a patient at the Knights of Columbus Developmental Center, every child requires a physician referral. You will receive a call to confirm receipt of the referral.

  • ADHD
  • Autism spectrum disorders
  • Developmental delays
  • Language and social delay
  • Intellectual disabilities
  • Genetic syndromes with behavioral or developmental impact
