About
At the heart of Dr. Amaral's approach to care is an appreciation of the whole child. He strives to not only understand a child's cognitive strengths and weaknesses, but also how their medical history, emotional function, socioeconomic well-being, family structure, and culture affect their daily functioning. Dr. Amaral's approach is to identify factors that may affect the patients development and to provide recommendations geared toward promoting more optimal outcomes.
To date, his research interests include exploring cognitive and social development in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), with an emphasis on how contextual factors affect task performance. Current projects examine motor coordination, socialization, mental flexibility, language development and learning patterns.
Our clinic is located on the 2nd floor of the Children's Wisconsin Clinics Building at 8920 W. Connell Court. Please check in at Suite 210 at the Neurosciences front desk.

Ratings & Reviews
Why doesn't this provider have ratings?
At Children's, you can expect the very best care and service from all our providers — but not all will have ratings or reviews displayed online, for a few possible reasons.
The provider may:
- Not have received the minimum number of reviews (to ensure accuracy, we require a minimum of 30 patient surveys before we develop each provider's rating)
- Care for patients only as part of a team
- Not see Children's Wisconsin patients
