When used in early intervention, evidence-based care is a thoughtful and effective approach that helps Siskin Children’s Institute providers make informed decisions about your child’s needs.
While evaluating a child, establishing a diagnosis, and developing a treatment plan, our pediatric behavioral specialists consider three main aspects of evidence-based care:
Together, these elements help our providers create personalized and clinically informed treatment plans. The result of evidence-based care is positive outcomes for children and families, which aligns with Siskin Children’s Institute’s mission.
Patient safety also improves through evidence-based care supported by peer-reviewed studies. Instead of relying on a provider’s “gut feeling,” decisions are based on data and situational context. This approach encourages our providers to stay attuned to new information and discover better ways to improve patient outcomes that they might not have learned by only relying on past experiences or previous training.
Evidence-based practices are also patient-centered. This method gives patients and their parents the opportunity to voice their concerns and needs. As our providers share evidence, families can use those insights to make well-informed and collaborative choices about their child’s intervention and treatment.
Personalized care options are another benefit of evidence-based care. While our providers use research from similar situations to guide decisions, evidence-based care recognizes that each child is unique and has different goals. There is no one-size-fits-all approach because a child’s individual context is always considered when determining the support they need.
At Siskin Children’s Institute, we believe in a family-centered approach. That’s why our behavioral therapists work with caregivers to set goals and develop plans that help children succeed.
To achieve this, we provide evidence-based behavior therapy and treatment options for children with early medical diagnoses such as autism and ADHD. Our developmental pediatrics services include autism evaluations, applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and more.
As a nonprofit that has served children and their families for over 75 years, Siskin is dedicated to improving the lives of children with special needs and helping them live fulfilling lives.
