Autism Outpatient Services
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience a range of challenges in social skills, behaviors, communication as well as unique strengths. We provide a variety of diagnostic, assessment, and therapy services for children and adolescents with ASD. Our goal is to identify the appropriate diagnosis and to work with you and your child to make the necessary adjustments so you both feel more confident completing daily activities.
How We Treat
Our multidisciplinary approach works to understand and care for the concerns you have for your child. Through assessment of your child’s current challenges, we can explore the appropriate diagnoses. Once a diagnosis has been made we will work with you to develop individualized recommendations for at home, at school and in the community.
Psychiatric Care:
Psychiatric care is provided in close collaboration with our team and other providers for children who may experience multiple psychiatric illnesses or behavioral problems.
Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy:
Physical, occupational and speech/language therapy is offered for children who may experience difficulties completing daily activities, and have communication, and/or swallowing and feeding issues.
Family Support:
Our psychologists and social workers offer cognitive behavioral therapy and education for children and their family, using The Research Units in Behavioral Intervention (RUBI) Parent Training for Disruptive Behavior.
