Established in 1958, the Cheerful Helpers Child and Family Study Center offers services to families with young children, ages 2-6, who are having difficulties with language development, motor-planning, self-regulation and socialization, in family oriented intervention programs. 

These relationship-based programs are for children with high-functioning autism, aspergers, attachment disorders, developmental delays, and processing, learning and emotional difficulties. 

The Center operated for 49 years in the Thalians Department of Psychiatry at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center prior to moving to its own home in Fall 2007.
