Behavior and Development Lab
The Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development (CCHBD) is at the forefront of developing therapies to improve outcomes for children with autism, depression, obesity, attention problems and a variety of other conditions. The Behavior and Development Lab is the epicenter of this process, providing CCHBD investigators with a dedicated, state-of-the-art research facility. The Lab is conveniently located at Seattle Children's Research Institute's 8th Avenue office in Seattle's South Lake Union area.
The Behavior and Development Lab includes a clinical space with four meeting and observation rooms and an additional exam room. Access to testing rooms is controlled by a coded door. There is a separate waiting area with chairs and toys for the use of participants and their siblings and parents.
