Mission Statement
The Arnett Lab strives to contribute to the mission of the Division of Developmental Medicine through cutting-edge methods and quality research. We aim to improve precision medicine care for children with neurodevelopmental disorders affecting regulation of attention, behavior, and emotions. Our research is designed with the goal of developing of personalized, preventative approaches to behavioral and mental health care that meet the needs of each individual child in the context of their environments. Additionally, we aim to provide resources and knowledge for stakeholders through scientific inquiry, mentorship and training, and dissemination of findings. We view collaboration and community engagement as integral to overcoming barriers for care.
