Child life specialists are certified and trained professionals with expertise in child development. They help infants, children, teens, and families cope with the stress and uncertainty of acute and chronic illness, injury, trauma, disability, loss, and bereavement. Child life specialists can help recognize and address your child’s reactions to the stresses of illness and medical procedures by providing evidence-based, developmentally and psychologically appropriate interventions. Some services that a child life specialist can support are education on a new diagnosis, school re-entry preparation, normalization of the hospital experience through therapeutic play, and many more.

Yasin was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, a rare heart condition where oxygen-poor blood flows from the heart to the rest of the body. His doctors at NewYork-Presbyterian knew that the only way to beat it was with a treatment that was completely new. They implanted one of the first-ever heart valves that will grow alongside him. Now Yasin - who had two open heart surgeries as an infant - is playing basketball, pursuing his love of drawing, and living life as a healthy 10-year-old.
