Mailman Center for Child Development

The Mailman Center for Child Development at the University of Miami is an integral part of the School of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics. The Center offers extensive research facilities for education and contains everything needed to fulfill its mission of research, training, and services to children with special needs and their families.

The staff at the Center give special care to identifying the concerns and priorities of each individual and family. The family and professional staff then work closely to decide those services that would best meet all family members' needs.

The Mailman Center for Child Development, located in Miami's busy University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center, is a major resource for rapidly growing, multicultural South Florida.

The Center is named for philanthropists Abraham and Joseph Mailman. The 1966 construction of the current site was supported by the Mailman Foundation, the Joseph P. Kennedy Foundation, and Federal construction grants.

The Mailman Center is located at 1601 N.W. 12th Avenue, Miami Florida 33136, on the corner of N.W. 16th Street and N.W. 12th Avenue. It is just east of the Civic Center Metrorail Station.
