Dr. Huberman is a developmental pediatrician, Clinical Associate Professor, and Director
of the Department of Pediatrics’ Division of Child Development at SUNY Downstate Health
Sciences University in Brooklyn, as well as the Clinical Director of the Brooklyn
LEND (Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities) program. Besides training residents and medical students in child development and
behavior, evaluating and treating children with development, learning and behavioral
problems (including Autism Spectrum Disorders) and doing early childhood and autism-related
research, Dr. Huberman’s interests include autism spectrum, its underlying neurobiology,
and treatment approaches, as well as health disparities and ways to ensure that developmental

with child development; preventive parenting programs to improve parent-child interaction
and developmental outcomes for children living in poverty; and international health.
