Elodie Betances, MD

I am a developmental and behavioral pediatrician and assistant professor in the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. I care for children with a wide range of neurodevelopmental differences, including autism spectrum disorder, intellectual and developmental disabilities, complex genetic syndromes, and children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

My clinical work includes interdisciplinary care through programs such as the Thomas Center for Down Syndrome, the CHARGE Center, cochlear implant evaluations, and specialty care for children with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome and other rare genetic conditions.

My interests include early developmental evaluation, language and communication development, and partnering with families to support children with complex developmental needs.

I am especially passionate about improving access to care for diverse families, including Spanish-speaking families navigating developmental, medical and educational systems. I provide care in English, Spanish and French and enjoy working with families from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Cincinnati’s food scene and spending time with my husband and daughter.
