Welcome to the Clinic for Special Children, Wilmington’s first and only pediatric practice offering Integrative Medicine for children. Offering an unprecedented level of attentive and personalized care, our Integrative Medical Team consists of our Board Certified Pediatrician and Naturopathic Care Provider. Our team celebrates your child’s individuality with customized care plans that optimize wellness and restore health. The Clinic for Special Children was originally founded by Dr. Karen Harum, MD, to provide accurate diagnosis, whole child treatments, specialty care and consultation for all children with developmental disabilities and behavioral problems including ADD, ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders. We believe in treating the whole child by addressing their physical, emotional, social and environmental needs. This integrative holistic approach combines modern western medicine and evidence-based complementary and alternative healing modalities. By integrating traditional medical diagnostics and pharmaceutical therapies with Functional and Naturopathic medical therapies including botanical medicine, homeopathy, nutraceuticals, nutrition and lifestyle counseling, we feel that we can provide the best care possible for your family. Our vision at the Clinic for Special Children is to improve the quality of children’s lives by providing the resources for accurate diagnosis and comprehensive holistic treatments for general pediatrics and a wide variety of developmental disorders. An integral part of that vision is educating parents and extended family on the sundry of whole child healing protocols that Dr. Harum has created for special needs children over the past 20 years.

Healing often shows up in small moments, like a laugh, a quiet morning, a renewed sense of presence. ✨

NeuroStar helps people reconnect with what matters most, one moment at a time. If depression has dimmed those feelings, know that relief is possible.

The holidays can bring connection, celebration…and stress. If this season feels heavier than usual, you’re not alone.

Here are a few tips inspired by guidance from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to support mental well-being during the holidays.

Thinking about trying HBOT? 🌬️

Read this “What to Expect in Your First HBOT Session” guide
— it explains step-by-step what happens inside the chamber: gradual pressurization (you may notice ear-popping like on a flight), breathing pure oxygen, then relaxing for 60–90 minutes —often while reading, listening to music, or resting.

Only about 30% of autism cases are linked to identifiable genetic mutations — what about the rest?
