About the Sherkow Center
The Sherkow Center for Child Development and Autism Spectrum Disorder is a not-for-profit organization formed to provide training, treatment, and research in the area of developmental delays and autism spectrum disorders. Our goal is to help all children on the spectrum achieve their optimal potential by using our psychoanalytic understanding of development, incorporating the most current neurobiological findings about the plasticity of the brain.
Through our Beyond Diagnosis outreach program, the Center advises pediatricians, as well as other clinicians and service providers, about the importance of adding psychodynamic parent/child therapy to every treatment protocol. The Center advocates for psychodynamic treatment of the parent/infant pair as an essential part of the protocol for treatment of children with these diagnoses. Recent outcome studies and clinical experience have shown how much this can help in reversing neurobiological differences. We also offer counseling services on-site to parents whose infants or toddlers have just been diagnosed.
The Center supports the burgeoning underserved population of pre-adolescents on the spectrum, particularly to address their social and sexual development. We have created support groups for these children, who meet with us weekly to explore their curiosity about their changing bodies and their changing interests. We also offer groups to parents who are eager to learn to manage their child's rapidly evolving adolescence.
We also provide home-based Triadic Psychodynamic Intervention, a service created for the benefit of families whose youngsters are in psychodynamically informed individual treatment. This new service offers parents the option of having one of our trainees spend a minimum of 20 hours per week in the home, reinforcing the goals of individual treatment. Our training program is open to pre-and post-doctoral students, clinicians in infant psychotherapy practice, and specialists in play therapy with young children.
