Flower Who We Serve
Kids
  • ASK serves approximately 250 children in 500 visits per year.

  • The population is largely urban, with almost 90 percent of patients enrolled in local public schools.

  • Our population is predominantly Black and Latino (88%), reflecting the population served in these community health center settings.

  • Patients treated typically have diagnoses such as learning disabilities, ADHD, disruptive behavior, language delays and a variety of more specific mood or developmental disorders. Almost 15% of children who come to ASK have no diagnosis, but were in need of additional parenting and other social supports.
