Westlake Village who work together
under one roof to identify the underlying causes of developmental
differences and create a customized treatment program for each of
the children who walk through our doors."
At Cortica's comprehensive care centers, families with children
from infancy through adolescence can receive an accurate
diagnosis, a wide array of evidence-based therapies, and counseling
support for a variety of neurodevelopmental differences.

square feet, custom built for medical evaluations, individual and
family counseling, social groups, and therapies including behavior,
speech-language, physical, occupational, and music. The center
