Seattle Children’s Hospital

Seattle Children’s Hospital consistently ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, we provide expert diagnosis and care to infants, children, teens and young adults.

THE BEHAVIORAL PROGRAM
The Biobehavioral Program assesses and treats children and teens with developmental disabilities, including autism, who have very challenging behaviors.

PSYCHIATRY AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH UNIT
Our focus in the PBMU is to give your child short-term care during a mental health crisis. From the time your child comes into the hospital, we follow a set of steps (called a clinical pathway) based on your child’s diagnosis. The steps are designed to stabilize your child’s behavior and to teach your child and family skills that can help after your child leaves the hospital. These skills can help you and your child cope and help you prevent crises in the future.
