of the Child Study Center

For Mental Health Professionals: The Early Child Development Externship Programs of the Yale Child Study Center offer strong, multi-faceted training in working with young children and their families. The Externships are appropriate training experiences for licensed, insured professionals in the community who wish to learn more about early child development, including the evaluation and treatment of young children and their families. Psychologists, social workers, pediatricians, child psychiatrists, APRNs, speech and language pathologists, and occupational/physical therapists currently working with latency age children and their families are appropriate candidates for the Externship programs. The externships offer 1 to 3 year part-time, unpaid, tuition based opportunities to learn to observe, evaluate, and treat young children and their families. While training in the substantive area of early childhood development, all practitioners will receive appropriate supervision by licensed clinical faculty.
