Driving Change. Changing Lives.

EBS Children’s Institute brings together the nation’s leading universities, top researchers, special educators, and therapists to drive innovation and improve outcomes. Our combination of research and clinical experience has led us to develop effective solutions that enhance the services we deliver. Whether we’re working on a tool to help school districts better track student progress, or we’re empowering our professionals through our mentorship and training programs, we are continually looking for ways to impact lives.

We then share our research so that therapists, special educators, school districts, early intervention agencies, and private clinics have access to the latest knowledge, which directly benefits children across the nation and around the globe.
