Child and Adolescent Services
Learn MoreChildren and adolescents may be referred to IJR’s General Diagnostic Clinic for a wide variety of concerns, including problems with disruptive behavior, anxiety, and/or mood, school functioning, adjustment to trauma or other sources of stress, and developmental delays.
Diagnostic Evaluation
Evaluations in our General Diagnostic Clinic include a comprehensive assessment of each youth’s current strengths and difficulties, family functioning and family, medical, school, and psychiatric history. When appropriate (and with permission of the youth’s legal guardian), we may also gather information from teachers, pediatricians, caseworkers, counselors, and other adults who play key roles in the youth’s life.
Following each evaluation, we provide feedback to children, adolescents, and their families and propose our treatment recommendations. Our individualized treatment plans are intended to be responsive to the particular values, needs, culture, and resources of the youth and families whom we evaluate. When further assessment of particular problems is warranted, we may refer youth for additional evaluation (for example, neuropsychological testing, speech / language testing, or evaluations of medical problems). Treatment may include:
Dr. Adeyanju started her medical training at UIC prior to a general psychiatric residency culminating in a Child Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship at University Hospital and Clinics in Iowa. She is compassionate and driven to provide evidence based, patient centered care.
