Child Life Staff Faculty/Staff The goal of the Child Life program is to help children understand and cope with the experience of illness and hospitalization. Child Life Specialists are specifically trained and certified in child development and how children respond to illness and hospitalization. Child Life Specialists use procedural preparation and support as well as play and expressive activities. Through play, patients can express themselves, gain mastery and control, build self-esteem, develop and maintain peer interactions and learn to trust their environment.
