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.

😩It’s easy to feel uncertain when exploring new treatment options, especially when it comes to your brain. But when myths spread faster than facts, it can make it even harder to get the care you need.

That’s why we’re here to clear things up. NeuroStar TMS therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-drug treatment backed by science, trusted by providers and proven to help adults with depression.✨

Watch now to separate myth from fact and get the clarity you deserve. 💡

📢 Friendly Reminder for Our Wonderful Patients! 💙

We want to remind everyone that Clinic for Special Children has implemented a new policy for all Well Child Check visits.

✅ All questionnaires sent to you must be completed at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment.
⚠️ Failure to complete these questionnaires will result in automatic cancellation of your appointment, and you’ll need to reschedule.

This policy helps us ensure a smooth check-in process and gives our providers the time they need to review all required information so your child’s visit goes as smoothly as possible.

We’ll also send out a reminder 24 hours before your appointment if we notice your questionnaires have not yet been completed.

🩺 Please note: This policy is specific to Clinic for Special Children and is not associated with any insurance requirements.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! 💙

Curious how NeuroStar works?

Our FDA-cleared TMS therapy uses targeted magnetic pulses to activate the areas of the brain that affect mood. It’s a non-drug, non-invasive option for people with major depressive disorder, especially when other treatments haven’t worked.

Each session is brief, and most patients return to normal activities right after.

Here’s what you can expect from NeuroStar, step by step. 💡

Schedule a Phone call consultation with our TMS Coordinator, Leila, @ 910-31-7744 EXT 112 or email Leila@clinicforspecialchildren.net!

🧠 Dr. Harum wants to share this important article highlighting a growing concern in the medical community:

⚠️ The dangers of acetaminophen (Tylenol) for neurodevelopment may outweigh the limited evidence supporting its long-term benefits.

This is a must-read for parents, caregivers, and healthcare professionals alike. Awareness is key when it comes to making informed decisions about our children’s health.
